By: PRLog
Crux Quality Solutions and the UK's NHS Southampton General Hospital have partnered to further enhance and modify workflow automation platform FlowBoardTM for the UK market.
ST. LOUIS - July 31, 2018 - PRLog -- Crux Quality Solutions (CruxQSTM) announced today that the UK's Southampton General Hospital will collaborate with CruxQSTM on development of FlowBoardTM, an intelligent workflow management solution for radiation oncology.

The main site of the NHS Trust: Southampton General Hospital is one of the UK's largest integrated cancer centers and a global leader in clinical research. The center treats around 4,000 patients with a new diagnosis of cancer each year and of those 2,200 patients per year with radiotherapy and provides multiple modalities of treatments for the majority of cancer types. The versatility of their operation along with UKs strict timelines for cancer patients makes efficiency and safety an important necessity that will benefit by using the FlowBoardTM platform.

FlowBoardTM is an intelligent workflow management solution for radiation oncology, which integrates with Record and Verify systems, popular treatment planning systems and other systems that are part of the oncology department. Integrating and visually presenting this information along with notification of bottlenecks & other proactive predictive analytics mitigate communication errors, improve efficiency and enable care teams with easy access to relevant data to make decisions. For patients it means a smoother treatment experience, quick start times and good quality of care.

The immediate step in the strategic alliance is to work with the radiotherapy physics team to integrate the necessary tools into the FlowBoardTM system for benefits of the cancer patients around the workflow. Installation and training of the FlowBoardTM system at Southampton General Hospital will commence immediately to expedite the optimization and development process of FlowBoardTM.

"I am excited that University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust has joined us in our efforts towards optimizing the workflow for cancer care providers and patients," said Dharanipathy Rangaraj, PhD, Crux Quality Solutions Founder & CEO. "Using FlowBoard to reduce care delays, improved efficiency and safety in the international market is one of the most exciting challenges to date for us," said Dr. Rangaraj.

"Combining the innovation capability of CruxQSTM and the vast clinical knowledge of the Radiotherapy Physics team at Southampton General Hospital will no doubt ensure that this collaboration will be a great success. We look forward to working with the CruxQSTM team to help them with bringing this innovative technology to the UK market," said Nael Clarke, Commercial Director for University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust.
