Siemens Healthcare and IMPAC Medical Systems, Inc. Expand Cooperation on Information Systems for Oncology

Under the extended agreement, Siemens will offer the MOSAIQ software as its next generation OIS offering to LANTIS, the OIS currently sold by Siemens.  Siemens LANTIS customers will have the option of upgrading to MOSAIQ or continuing to utilize their LANTIS systems. Siemens will extend service support and application training for its customers to include MOSAIQ.

MOSAIQ is an image-enabled electronic medical record for oncology that allows documentation of patient data, from diagnosis to therapy. Clinical images, lab results, and external documents can also be integrated.  Support for additional business functions such as scheduling, invoicing, management reporting and analysis, among others, can also be implemented.

"We have maintained a very successful partnership with IMPAC since 1992 in the area of oncology information systems. In addition to cooperating on the development of interfaces for our systems for photon and electron radiation therapy, we are now working together in particle therapy.  We are confident we will be able to offer our customers sustainable oncology systems which help them to optimize workflows and master the daily challenges of the hospital routine," said Holger Schmidt, CEO Oncology Care Systems, Siemens Healthcare.

"We are pleased to partner with Siemens and look forward to continuing a long and mutually beneficial relationship. We are certain MOSAIQ will assist clinicians to efficiently manage even the most demanding workflows in oncology enabling our customers to deliver the best possible patient care," said Jay Hoey, IMPAC President and CEO.
