/////////////////////////////////////////// INDUSTRY WATCH through MOA’s easy-to-use dashboards addressing the patient journey, machine usage and referral patterns. MOSAIQ is leading the way in driving collaboration among care providers and clinical departments within and between institutions This powerful solution overcomes a key challenge to leveraging all the data sets that a care centre generates by compiling MOSAIQ improves resource utilisation and eliminates inefficiencies, resulting in simplified workflows for all providers and departments involved in delivering care to patients and reducing long wait times to access care. The system automatically identifies new start appointments, which helps to plan use of staff and machines. It also identifies incomplete appointments to ensure that patients are receiving complete care and to facilitate identification of the factors that lead MOSAIQ PROVIDES EFFICIENT ANALYSIS OF TREATMENT PATTERNS BASED ON A VARIETY OF FACTORS, INCLUDING DIAGNOSIS, DISEASE STAGE, TREATMENT PLAN AND PRESCRIBED VERSUS ACTUAL TREATMENT. multi-disciplinary and multi-source data into a single, centralised location that is readily accessible to clinicians and administrators throughout a care centre’s network and multiple sites. MOSAIQ has been meeting this critical need since before big data became a big thing, enabling continuous improvement of patient care through routine assessment of care quality across a centre’s network and ensuring timely access to treatment by reducing wait times, eliminating bottlenecks and improving workflows. Importantly, MOSAIQ provides efficient analysis of treatment patterns based on a variety of factors, including diagnosis, disease stage, treatment plan and prescribed versus actual treatment. MOSAIQ increases productivity, allowing care centres to treat more patients more efficiently 82 INTELLIGENTCIO to cancellations, enabling process changes that ensure continuity of care. MOSAIQ’s ability to identify trends that impact time from referral to first consult and from first consult to initiation of treatment planning also supports continuity of care, optimises the use of personnel resources and minimises the number of times the patient must come in for clinic visits. It also provides real-time insight into patient populations, community demographics and referral patterns, ensuring that care centres effectively meet the needs of patients and physicians and expand their ability to reach patients who may benefit from their services. MOSAIQ also identifies which machines are being used most often to make informed decisions about decommissioning older devices and investing in new equipment. It also ensures that data security, integrity and utilisation meet internal and external quality and regulatory standards, which is an ongoing concern in an increasingly digital age. Reducing cost without compromising the quality of care MOSAIQ helps care centres reduce the cost of delivering high-quality cancer care, addressing a key challenge in today’s healthcare economic environment. Its easy-to-read dashboards provide a complete picture of practice, departmental or institutional performance and operations across an entire care network. MOSAIQ is an important tool for helping cancer centres to operate as efficiently and effectively as possible, increasing the proportion of expenditures devoted to care delivery and minimising unnecessary expenses. MOSAIQ’s benefits are also a powerful solution for addressing the needs of care centres in emerging markets, for which effective resource utilisation is not only important to the bottom line, but also essential for ensuring that as many patients as possible receive effective care. MOSAIQ + IBM Watson for Oncology: enabling the next generation of OIS Elekta is collaborating with IBM Watson Health to integrate Watson for Oncology into MOSAIQ. The collaboration will combine Elekta’s demonstrated success and innovative capacity in advancing the care and management of cancer patients with IBM’s unparalleled expertise in the development and application of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Integration of MOSAIQ with Watson for Oncology is expected to refine development of individualised care plans that are evidence-based, results-driven and patient-focused Watson for Oncology was developed with Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centre (MSKCC), a globally recognised leader in oncology care and www.intelligentcio.com
