The ARIA® oncology information system is a comprehensive information and image management solution that lets you oversee all aspects of oncology care for your patients. ARIA combines radiation, medical and surgical oncology information into a complete, oncology-specific EMR that allows you to manage the patient’s entire journey—from initial diagnosis through post-treatment follow-up. With the latest version of ARIA v15, we’ve re-engineered the software with security enhancements such as encrypted communications to help protect patient data from malicious attacks, and secure logins with your existing clinical environment credentials to ensure up-to-date authentication. The added data protection and improved user experience helps fight against data breaches so you can focus on providing seamless, simplified, and secure patient care.

With ARIA, you can:

• Evaluate diagnosis-specific data to compare acute responses to treatment and long-term clinical outcomes
• Develop disease-specific clinical protocols to facilitate a standard, consistent quality of care
• Monitor radiation dose and review treatment images to determine if plan changes are required
• Make confident decisions with the aid of embedded rule-based decision support

ARIA enables your treatment team to make informed, confident decisions for patients, and provides the tools required to effectively manage the administrative aspects of your department.
