Mountain View, CA, May 17, 2001
IMPAC Medical Systems,
Inc., today announced the introduction of Précis–Hospital, a
revolutionary tool designed to help busy registrars accurately
capture information, generate reports, and manage their registry.
Précis–Hospital will be demonstrated at the annual meeting of the
National Cancer Registrars Association (NCRA) May 24-26 in
Orlando, Florida.
Précis (pronounced pray-seez) means a concise summary of essential
points or facts – an abstract. Précis-Hospital means registrars
can easily and efficiently collect, manage, and analyze patient
demographic, epidemiological, treatment, and outcome data.
Précis-Hospital is the most recent addition to IMPAC’s Précis line
of database management solutions tailored to fit any oncology
setting. The system provides easy-to-use abstracting features,
comprehensive registry management, intuitive report generation,
and an innovative user interface that mirrors the workflow
patterns of cancer registrars.
“We have studied the way registrars work and designed a system
that mirrors those activities,” states Donna Getreuer, RN, MSN,
CTR, IMPAC’s Senior Product Manager for Cancer Registry Systems.
“We’ve also built in the ability to provide timely updates thereby
ensuring customers’ compliance with all regulatory reporting
requirements including, ACoS, NAACCR, NPCR, and SEER. And we’ve
included online Help with useful references such as ROADS, PCEs,
SEER, Topography, Morphology, and TNM Staging as well as a
complete glossary.”
