IMPAC Medical Systems, a leading provider of information technology solutions for oncology care, recently announced new radiation oncology installations throughout the United Kingdom and Europe. Since expanding its direct operations outside of North America in 2002, IMPAC has logged new installations in prestigious cancer centers throughout the world.

Several recent European radiation oncology installations include Mannheim Medical Center (Mannheim, Germany), Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust (Wolverhampton, England), North Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust (London, England), The Christie Hospital NHS Trust (Manchester, England), Trinity College School of Radiotherapy (Dublin, Ireland), Erasmus MC University Medical Center (Rotterdam, The Netherlands), University Medical Centre Utrecht, (Utrecht, The Netherlands), Mälar Hospital (Eskilstuna, Sweden), MD Anderson Espana (Madrid, Spain), Hospital CUF Descobertos (Lisbon, Portugal), Institute of Oncology (Ljubljana, Slovenia), and Ege University (Izmir, Turkey). 

 Professor Frederik Wenz, M.D., department of radiation oncology, Mannheim Medical Center, said “When looking for an electronic patient record system we needed to ensure that there is full integration with the different makes of radiotherapy equipment used in our facility. The IMPAC system integrated all of our multi-vendor equipment and aggregated critical patient data into a single, complete picture of patient care that is accessible to our staff wherever and whenever they need it.” 

IMPAC’s comprehensive oncology information system was designed to help radiotherapy centers manage the entire spectrum of critical patient data with process automation tools that improve process efficiencies while reducing the risks of medical error. “IMPAC is thrilled that the benefits of our solutions are being recognized on a global level and have improved patient care and enhance provider productivity,” said David Auerbach, president of IMPAC’s international operations.
