August 1, 2007 - Varian Medical Systems is one of seven vendors selected to participate in the American Society of Clinical Oncology's (ASCO) Electronic Health Records (EHR): 2007 Oncology Symposium scheduled for Sept. 19-20, 2007, in Dallas, TX.
Varian will showcase its ARIA Oncology Information System, an electronic health record for managing patient information in comprehensive cancer treatment centers as well as radiation and medical oncology departments. ARIA uses industry-standard communication protocols and an open architecture design to link medical and radiation oncology data in one system. As a result, administrative, clinical and financial information are reportedly readily available when and where it is needed within the clinic.
At ASCO's EHR 2007 Oncology Symposium, the invited vendors will conduct oncology-specific product demonstrations based on scenarios provided by ASCO. Designed for oncologists, administrators, nurses, and other members of the healthcare team, the Symposium will also offer educational sessions on EHR implementation, improving practice efficiency with EHRs, the EHR return on investment, and more.
