Varian Medical Systems has teamed with Cogent Health Solutions to offer Cogent's Equicare CS (cancer survivorship) case management software with Varian's ARIA Oncology Information System for the management of cancer treatment centers.

The partnership will offer oncology treatment centers a way to provide cancer survivors proactive follow-up care to achieve a better post-treatment quality of life, according to the Palo Alto, Calif.-based company.

The Equicare case management system is a web-based, patient-centric tool that can help cancer survivors, their caregivers, and their healthcare providers achieve better clinical compliance and improved patient outcomes following treatment for cancer, Varian said.
