We are excited to announce a significant development from Allegheny Health Network (AHN) in Pittsburgh, a recognized leader in radiation therapy and cancer care.
AHN has recently expanded its use of the Integral Quality Monitor (IQM) System by purchasing two additional systems for their clinical locations at AHN West Penn Hospital in Pittsburgh, PA and AHN St. Vincent in Erie, PA. This expansion follows their successful implementation of the IQM System at their main clinic in Pittsburgh, where it has become an integral part of their quality assurance (QA) processes.
Strengthening Quality Assurance Across Multiple Locations
Allegheny Health Network’s decision to extend the use of the IQM System across multiple sites underscores their commitment to maintaining the highest standards of care and precision in radiation therapy. The Pittsburgh clinic has been using the IQM System extensively for QA of Stereotactic plans and the verification of all Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) treatment plans.
This expansion is a testament to the confidence AHN places in the IQM System’s ability to enhance treatment accuracy and patient safety.
Why AHN Chose the IQM System
The IQM System has proven to be a critical component in AHN’s approach to radiation therapy, offering several key benefits:
- Real-Time Verification: The IQM System provides continuous, real-time monitoring during radiation therapy, ensuring every beam is delivered with the highest accuracy.
- Streamlined QA Processes: By automating the verification process, the IQM System reduces the time and effort required for quality assurance, allowing the AHN team to focus more on patient care.
- Consistency Across Locations: With the adoption of IQM Systems at AHN West Penn Hospital and AHN St. Vincent, AHN ensures a consistent, high-quality approach to radiation therapy across all its locations.
A Commitment to Excellence
The expansion of the IQM System within Allegheny Health Network highlights their dedication to leveraging cutting-edge technology to provide exceptional patient care. By integrating the IQM System into their workflows, AHN is enhancing the precision and reliability of their treatments, particularly in the complex areas of Stereotactic techniques.
Discover the IQM Advantage
As more institutions like AHN adopt and expand their use of the IQM System, it’s clear that this technology is becoming a cornerstone of effective radiation therapy.
We invite you to explore how the IQM System can enhance your own clinical practices, ensuring that you deliver the highest standards of care to your patients.
