New Partnership: Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center
GrayOS has proved highly effective in streamlining processes in Canadian cancer care centers. According to users, it has reduced scheduling time by 80% and slashed training time for administration staff by half. By cutting down on workloads, it also helps save costs.
The collaboration will result in Mary Bird Perkins becoming the first cancer care organization in the U.S. to deploy Gray Oncology Solutions’ highly effective, workload-reducing technology. Through the use of novel software – specifically, the operating system GrayOS – patients and staff are helped by minimizing wait times and reducing administrative tasks.
The technology assists by:
Scheduling appointments while automatically accounting for patients’ preferences and resource availability
Empowering clinical teams to monitor operations and anticipate bottlenecks through predictive analytics and advanced dashboards
“We are excited to be the first center in the U.S. deploying this new technology,”
said Sotirios Stathakis, Ph.D., Dr. Charles M. Smith Chief of Physics, Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center.
"Through this significant partnership with Gray Oncology Solutions, we believe we can greatly enhance our radiation therapy services by offering more streamlined and accessible care to cancer patients.
