The Veterans Health Administration is America’s largest integrated health care system, serving approximately 9 million veterans each year, of which around 40,000 patients are newly diagnosed cancer patients. The National Acquisition Center (NAC) is responsible for supporting the health care requirements of the VA and other government agencies, awards national contracts and blanket purchase agreements for the acquisition and direct delivery of treatment planning systems (TPS), as well as oncology information systems (OIS).
RaySearch provides the RayStation® TPS and the RayCare®* OIS. RayStation offers a dramatically enhanced user experience and groundbreaking features like multi-criteria optimization, ultrafast computation speed, 4D adaptive radiation therapy and machine learning features. RayCare is an innovative OIS designed to support comprehensive cancer care and connect all oncology disciplines, enabling clinicians to efficiently coordinate tasks and ensure optimal use of resources. Both systems are included in the preferred vendor agreement that covers all 40 VA hospitals providing radiation therapy.
Johan Löf, founder and CEO of RaySearch, says: “I’m glad that we will now be given a chance to provide our outstanding products to the VA hospitals. RayStation and RayCare support comprehensive cancer care, combining speed and efficiency for the best possible patient care available.”
