Siemens chooses new oncology OIS
Siemens Healthcare will phase out its current oncology information system, LANTIS, in favor of a next generation OIS offered by partner IMPAC Medical Systems.

Consequent to the shift toward MOSAIQ, Siemens is extending customers service support and application training to include MOSAIQ. The shift toward a new OIS is part of a new agreement between the two companies that extends their alliance, forged in 1992, until 2016 and adds MOSAIQ to the Siemens oncology product portfolio.
