RaySearch has released RayCare 2A, the latest version of its groundbreaking oncology information system (OIS). RayCare is designed to support the workflow in a modern oncology center, connecting the different oncology disciplines, boosting efficiency and ensuring optimal use of resources.
RayCare is developing rapidly with clinical input from leading cancer centers worldwide. The first clinical version of RayCare was released in December 2017, and Iridium Cancer Network in Belgium started using it clinically after only two months. RayCare 2A introduces new features and a range of general system enhancements.
New features include task-based and rule-based scheduling for all clinic resources, management of clinical documents and forms connected to task management, and additional treatment management functions. RayCare’s advanced workflow capabilities have been further enhanced to enable customization of the individual patient's workflow, as well as automatic capture and management of billable codes from tasks performed in the workflow.
RayCare 2A also incorporates RayPACS, a unique managed PACS (picture archiving and communication system) that makes it fast and easy to retrieve and share images. RayPACS is fully integrated with the RayCare workflow management system, enabling automated imaging workflows. All DICOM and non-DICOM objects relevant for radiation oncology can be stored, and rules for DICOM routing can be set up easily based on any DICOM tag.
Johan Löf, CEO of RaySearch, says: “This latest release of RayCare takes important steps toward the goal of an OIS that supports and connects oncology workflows, and raises automation to new levels. By combining our technical innovation with the expertise of our clinical partners, we are redefining what is possible with an OIS.”
