ATLANTA, Dec. 9, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — Customers using Elekta’s
MOSAIQ® oncology
information system (OIS) experience success with seamless
integration to Varian’s TrueBeam™ system for
radiation therapy delivery. The MOSAIQ interface to this linear
accelerator is the most recent example of exceptional connectivity
between Elekta’s premier OIS and the delivery systems of other
cancer management equipment providers, including Siemens and
TomoTherapy, and particle therapy vendors such as Hitachi and
IBA.
“Creating a seamless link between MOSAIQ and TrueBeam is
consistent with Elekta’s philosophy of open systems connectivity
that has endured for 20 years,” says Todd Powell, Executive Vice
President, Elekta Software. “MOSAIQ provides unsurpassed safety,
functionality and interoperability, meeting our clinicians’ highest
expectations and providing the most comprehensive information
medium for excellent patient care.”
The MOSAIQ OIS streamlines medical oncology and radiation
oncology workflow from the first encounter, through diagnosis and
staging, planning, treatment and long-term follow-up. At the heart
of MOSAIQ is the image-enabled electronic medical record
(EMR) by which healthcare professionals communicate information
about their patients throughout the continuum of cancer care.
First centers with new MOSAIQ connectivity report
success
Long Island Jewish (LIJ) Medical Center (New Hyde Park, N.Y.)
and Exempla Saint Joseph Comprehensive Cancer Center (Denver,
Colo.) are among the first sites to use the new MOSAIQ OIS
interface with the TrueBeam system. Both centers have experienced
excellent MOSAIQ connectivity and interoperability.
“Three years ago we converted to a 100 percent paperless
department, and accomplished this by modifying departmental
workflow into an integral process-driven patient care operation
