Oncology Software Gets High Marks in UK Exercise

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 21 Jul 2006
Medical oncology software for integrated chemotherapy e-prescribing and
pharmacy dispensing has performed strongly against competing systems after being benchmarked against a national specification.

The benchmarking exercise was performed by the UK's National Health Service (NHS; London) at Crawley Hospital (UK) by the e-prescribing team from the NHS Connecting for Health in conjunction with the UK National Cancer Action Team, with a close assessment of the medical oncology software systems of several suppliers.

"The Varian MedOncology system demonstrated the second highest level of functionality during the exercise but has now developed even further,” stated Steve Laws, medical oncology sales manager, Varian, Inc. More...
(Palo Alto, CA, USA). "We are delighted that although being a recent entrant into a mature chemotherapy prescribing systems market, our software is already considered as providing one of the best fits for NHS requirements, particularly in the areas of safety and scalability.”

Varian's VARiS MedOncology system is designed to improve patient care and departmental efficiency by fully integrating the prescribing, preparation, dispensing, and administration of drugs. It significantly reduces the risk of human error.

Varian Medical Systems is a world-leading developer of medical technology for treating cancer with radiotherapy and neurologic disorders with radiosurgery. The company is also a major supplier of x-ray tubes and flat-panel digital subsystems for imaging in medical, scientific, and industrial applications.
