Radiation therapy firm Varian Medical Systems plans to exhibit an update of its Aria oncology information system at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) conference in Las Vegas.
The new release is designed to improve ease of use and interoperability with the company's Eclipse treatment planning software, according to Varian. Aria 11 has also been certified so that customers can use it to demonstrate stage 1 meaningful use of an electronic medical record, in order to qualify for Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act funding from the federal government, Varian said.
