ATLANTA, Oct. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a
survey by KLAS, an independent research firm, Elekta's (EKTA-B.ST)
MOSAIQ® Oncology Information System earned the number one ranking
in the medical and/or radiology oncology category of KLAS'
"Oncology 2014: Integration is Key" report. The survey of 247
customers of various vendors said that "Elekta has improved their
MOSAIQ interfaces to take a commanding lead over their
competitors." MOSAIQ scored 82.4 out of 100, 93 percent of
customers said they would buy again and 96 percent confirmed that
MOSAIQ is part of their long-term plans.
This is the second year that it has received this recognition.
It was also ranked highest in the KLAS' "Oncology 2013: Eyes Wide
Open" report.
This year, the report indicated that in the "interface race," in
which integration is more critical than functionality in the eyes
of customers, providers were more pleased with Elekta's MOSAIQ
pharmacy interfaces than they were in the 2013 KLAS oncology
report, achieving a rating of 8.0, eclipsing last year's mark of
7.1. "Elekta's single database for radiation and medical oncology
continues to be a strength for the continuity of oncology care,"
the report states.
The survey also revealed high customer appreciation for the
improved workflow automation that Elekta provides in MOSAIQ via IQ
Scripts, which "has been immensely helpful in speeding up
workflow."
In the report, MOSAIQ was the highest performer in five out of
eight categories, covering both medical and radiation oncology.
MOSAIQ is a complete patient information management system that
efficiently manages patient care on a single solution, allowing
effective treatment evaluation before, during and after delivery to
ensure accuracy and safety. With more than 25 years of open systems
support, MOSAIQ connects seamlessly to virtually any linear
accelerator and planning system from any vendor, giving centers the
flexibility to choose solutions that perform optimally for their
practice and patients.
"We are pleased that once again MOSAIQ has satisfied customers'
requirements for an OIS that is efficient, highly functional and
above all easily integrated with the hardware and software that
health care providers choose to use for the highest quality patient
care," says Todd Powell, Executive
Vice President, Elekta Software.
