Mountain View, CA, 29 May, 2006
IMPAC Medical Systems, Inc. (IMPAC), an Elekta company and a
leading provider of oncology information technology solutions,
and the Coalition of Cancer Cooperative Groups, the nation’s
only non-profit organization whose sole focus is on cancer
clinical research, are working together to incorporate the
Coalition’s TrialCheck® search engine into the MOSAIQ™
electronic medical record.
The mission of the Coalition is to improve the quality of life
and survival of cancer patients by increasing participation in
cancer clinical trials. The Coalition brings together health
professionals, patient advocate groups, and federal and state
governments to focus attention on clinical trial issues.
IMPAC and the Coalition are committed to increasing the
awareness of clinical trials as a treatment option that should
be discussed with every cancer patient. TrialCheck uses the most
up-to-date database of cooperative group and industry trials.
MOSAIQ customers will have seamless access to TrialCheck, will
be able to customize the MOSAIQ trial database with the trials
that are open at their institutions, and will be able to
automatically screen for patients who are potentially eligible
to participate in clinical trials.
