    IMPAC breaks records and new ground at RO Users Meeting, Users Party, and ASTRO Booths

Philadelphia, PA- IMPAC's 15th Annual Users Meeting and Party were a resounding success this year, attracting more than 1300 attendees to the Users Meeting and close to 1800 at the Users Party. IMPAC also broke new ground by hosting first-ever exhibits at both the Users Meeting and at ASTRO.

New Dimensions in Oncology Workflow Management

The Annual Users Meeting and ASTRO event theme focused on how IMPAC has defined new dimensions in oncology IT with MOSAIQ™, IGTM™, SYNERGISTIQ™ and MOSAIQ™ Oncology PACS -- products that IMPAC users can order now to begin harnessing today's technological advancements in image-guided radiotherapy treatment. IMPAC also paid tribute to the Client Services group and key customers whose close collaboration plays a pivotal role in how IMPAC develops oncology-specific information management systems that work so seamlessly within oncology workflows.

Groundbreaking Exhibits

For the first time this year, Users Meeting attendees could visit exhibits displaying other IMPAC solutions, such as our Comprehensive and Medical Oncology product line and our Cancer Registry products -- all of which integrate with MOSAIQ EMR. Focusing more keenly on the launch of MOSAIQ Oncology PACS during the ASTRO conference, IMPAC hosted a 2nd exhibit booth at the debut eASTRO Technology Pavilion, where daily presentations about this ground-breaking oncology-specific PACS product attracted standing-room audiences and drove the number of demo requests at IMPAC's eASTRO and main ASTRO booths.
