Elekta's ProKnow to help standardize radiotherapy for veterans

ATLANTA, February 10, 2021 – Elekta announced today that the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) National Radiation Oncology Program is poised to pair its major radiotherapy quality program with Elekta’s (EKTA-B.ST)ProKnow, a web browser-based cloud solution that centralizes radiotherapy data in a secure scalable platform accessible to all 41 of the VA’s radiation oncology facilities nationwide.

“ProKnow is designed to give caregivers the ability to evaluate massive amounts of treatment and health data inputted into the platform’s cloud server from entire populations of patients – and to share these data among their colleagues at multiple facilities,” according to Larry Biscotti, Executive Vice President, North and Central America. “This should help provide the insight to standardize care with the aim of improving treatment management.”

利用解决方案的可用工具的PROKNOW数据分析将有助于通过护理标准化推出变化，并促进最佳实践，Biscotti添加。

“ProKnow will enable remote, collaborative, 24-7 access to data, turning a healthcare network’s collective data streams into a consolidated cloud-based ‘knowledge center’ that the organization can mine for insights,” he said.

VA医院和社区医疗中心每年将放疗到超过45,000例患者。

The VA is not alone in the magnitude of radiotherapy data that are accumulated on a daily basis. Radiotherapy clinics around the world generate terabytes of patient information every day. Like the VA, the insight contained within these data remains locked away without a simple, intuitive analytics solution.

“By providing a centralized and secure cloud-based solution, ProKnow can unlock the data and make it accessible, enabling any radiotherapy provider to connect to clinical teams anywhere, any time,” Biscotti says. “We are particularly pleased that the VA has confidence in ProKnow, as Elekta is a proud employer of veterans and active duty military personnel, with many of our engineering and technical positions held by veterans in the US.”

Notably, last year, ProKnow helped many radiation therapy departments accommodate Covid-19 restrictions – and keep their patients’ treatments on track – by enabling remote plan review and contouring.
