French oncology network to install IMPAC IT systems from Elekta

Généridis, a subsidiary of Générale de Santé based in France, is a network of private radiation oncology centers that has decided to install a complete IMPAC IT solution from Elekta throughout their sites. The Oncology Information System (OIS) will be introduced to 12 networked sites.

The IMPAC system is designed to help radiotherapy centers manage the entire spectrum of cancer care with process automation tools that improve workflow efficiencies while simultaneously reduce the risks of medical errors, Elekta said.
