"Aside from oncology data, our analytics solutions will help our users to collect, aggregate and analyze big data that patients are generating throughout the experience, regardless of the source. This data will help patients and physicians in the treatment decision making process," says Todd Powell, Executive Vice President, Elekta Software. "Today, about two-thirds of patients are treated without using evidence-based protocols. With our Healthcare Analytics solutions, providers will be able to measure, monitor and establish comprehensive cancer care best practices, while adhering to regulatory guidelines."
"As we move forward together, our goal is to help you efficiently deliver the best possible cancer care: connected care," says Jay Hoey, Executive Vice President, Elekta North America. "We are committed to comprehensive care that reaches across disciplines, care that keeps patients at the center. We design technologies that help you manage your practice and treat your patients efficiently, and we create knowledge systems that help you connect with other clinicians as you work to improve outcomes."
At ASTRO 2014, Elekta will also showcase:
