RayCare 2.3

RayCare 2.3 is a software-based oncology information system designed to streamline cancer care by managing clinical workflows, patient data, and scheduling across radiation, medical, and surgical oncology disciplines. Its methodology involves a client-server architecture with modular functionalities, focused on efficient information transfer, storage, and display, excluding diagnostic activities and treatment delivery recording.

RayCare 2.3 is an oncology information system designed to support the comprehensive management of cancer care. Its primary functions include facilitating workflows, scheduling, and managing clinical information for patients undergoing oncology treatment and follow-up. The system enables the transfer, storage, conversion, and display of patient data across various oncology disciplines, including radiation therapy, medical oncology, and surgical oncology. RayCare 2.3 is specifically not intended for diagnostic activities but aims to streamline the administrative and clinical processes within an oncology department. It operates as a software-only system with client-server architecture, where the client part allows user interaction and the server handles processing and storage. The system comprises several functionality modules such as patient clinical data management, care administration, clinical notes, workflow and task management, charge capture, scheduling, PACS integration, an image viewer, simulation and imaging support, system administration, security features (authentication, authorization, audit logging), and hospital system integrations. Intended users are various cancer care clinic personnel, including clinical, technical, and administrative staff, with access controlled based on their roles and training. RayCare servers are hosted within the hospital IT environment, and clients operate on the internal hospital network or secure wireless networks. Non-clinical performance data, based on verification and validation against standards like ISO 14971, IEC 61217, IEC 62304, and IEC 62366, indicate the system's safety and effectiveness for its intended use. Notably, RayCare does not include functionality for recording treatment delivery sessions.
