14 Inspiring with Our Vision for the Future By our CCRs and for our CCRs EVOLUTION OF Quest NCS The day is quickly approaching. The process of duplicate documentation through several software systems will soon be a thing of the past. Agent desktop is almost here! Imagine a workplace where you log onto your computer and sign into only one system. Your workload is broken down into pie charts and your next accessing is sent to you with just a blink of an eye. All necessary and required information that is needed is all on one screen and the transition of one patient to another during the call is as easy as scrollng down and selecting the next patient. I will be a reality, and it will change our work lives as well as our clients lives. Jacob Camponauer, CCR
