1 ARIA Oncology Information System for Radiation Oncology User-focused Advantages For Oncologists: Prescription linking ability Gated treatment interface Unified workspace interfaces for imaging HDR integration Safety features: Electronic prescription is linked directly to the plan. Changes in prescription trigger a transition to an unapproved plan status, resulting in the inability to treat the plan. - This helps keep desired changes to the fractional dose from being overlooked. - Designed to reduce misadministration. TrueBeam /VitalBeam /Edge systems Safety feature: For gated plans, the gating interface is automatically connected to the plan at the treatment console and cannot be bypassed without proper authorization. Streamlined workflow: Users can attach the gating protocol to the treatment plan in advance within the ARIA Treatment Preparation workspace. Imaging functionality utilized online at the Varian treatment console is the same as what is used offline in the ARIA oncology information system (OIS). - This may reduce the learning curve for oncologists when switching to ARIA. HDR treatment doses and fraction counts are integrated and tracked in the RT Summary workspace. access schedules, task lists, and InSightive anayltics dashboards.*

Leverage pre-built templates to determine payer mix, referral sources, operational performance, and more. Realize real-time insights. Discover important patterns and trends. Facilitate data-driven decision-making. Data exploration capabilities Customizable data alert mechanism (v1.6 and above) care more efficient. An interactive graphical interface that allows the oncologist to review all aspects of the patient s radiation treatment including, but not limited to: - Offers a consolidated view of data that easily and effectively allows the user to navigate specific patient care events such as consultations, treatment visits, follow-ups, simulations, and weekly chart checks. Customizable encounter templates allow users to design a workflow within the patient s chart to interact with the functional areas such as review of systems, test results, enter vitals, and creating notes among many others. They bring all clinical assessment workspaces together into one simple workflow oriented space. These encounters can also be utilized as a checklist to assist clinicians documenting Advancing Care Information (ACI) and clinical quality measures (CQMs) related to the CMS Quality Payment Program. - Physician needs to see patient prior to treatment - Patient needs to meet with social worker, lab, etc. - Requests from Offline Review when the physician determines a shift from a previous port film, 2D/3D match, and/or CBCT Access to portions of the patient electronic medical record (EMR) over your secure virtual private network (VPN) or mobile devices. (ONC-Health IT) 2015 Edition Health IT Module Certification via the Drummond Group LLC, an Authorized Certification Body (ACB) that has been empowered to test software for compliance with the requirements of the federal government s program** Advancing Care Information (ACI) Clinical quality measures (CQM) As new functionality becomes available on the treatment machines, ARIA will be designed to accept it. There is no waiting for the EMR to be developed. Can be configured to open outside URLs such as OncoPeer cloud community, MyVarian, and the American Cancer For Nurses care more efficient.

3 RT Summary workspace Patient encounters An interactive graphical interface that allows nurses to review all aspects of the patient s radiation treatment including, but not limited to: - Offers a consolidated view of data that easily and effectively allows the user to navigate specific patient care events such as consultations, treatment visits, follow-ups, simulations, and weekly chart checks. Customizable encounter templates allow users to design a workflow within the patient s chart to interact with the functional areas such as review of systems, test results, enter vitals, and creating notes among many others. They bring all clinical assessment workspaces together into one simple workflow oriented space. These encounters can also be utilized as a checklist to assist clinicians documenting Advancing Care Information (ACI) and clinical quality measures (CQMs) related to the CMS Quality Payment Program. - Physician needs to see patient prior to treatment - Patient needs to meet with social worker, lab, etc. - Requests from Offline Review when the physician determines a shift from a previous port film, 2D/3D match, and/or CBCT For Therapists: Gated treatment interface Plan integrity check Complete transfer of patient data to the machine No specific workflow process required to enable greater clinical efficiency Daily treatment queue Unified workspace interfaces for imaging TrueBeam/VitalBeam/Edge systems Safety feature: For gated plans, the gating interface is automatically connected to the plan at the treatment console and cannot be bypassed without proper authorization. Streamlined workflow: Users can attach the gating protocol to the treatment plan in advance within the ARIA Treatment Preparation workspace. A plan signature is calculated at the time of plan approval. Upon opening the patient treatment plan at the machine treatment console, the system recalculates the signature to verify that important plan parameters remain the same as at the time of plan approval. Designed to reduce misadministration. Photos, setup notes, reference point dose, and fractional information will transfer with the patient plan and display on the in-room monitor. Mandatory workflow is not required for imaging and shift/matching information to be saved back to the oncology information system. After final couch shifts have been made, there is no need to image again for treatment position and shift information to save to ARIA. This queue, available at the machine console, displays all pertinent patient information. - - Schedule - Check-in status Imaging functionality utilized online at the Varian treatment console is the same as what is used in ARIA Offline Review. This may reduce the learning curve for therapists when switching to ARIA care more efficient.

4 RT Summary workspace Patient encounters An interactive graphical interface that allows therapists to review all aspects of the patient s radiation treatment including, but not limited to: - Offers a consolidated view of data that easily and effectively allows the user to navigate specific patient care events such as consultations, treatment visits, follow-ups, simulations, and weekly chart checks. Customizable encounter templates allow users to design a workflow within the patient s chart to interact with the functional areas such as review of systems, test results, enter vitals, and creating notes among many others. They bring all clinical assessment workspaces together into one simple workflow oriented space. These encounters can also be utilized as a checklist to assist clinicians documenting Advancing Care Information (ACI) and clinical quality measures (CQMs) related to the CMS Quality Payment Program. - Physician needs to see patient prior to treatment - Patient needs to meet with social worker, lab, etc. - Requests from Offline Review when the physician determines a shift from a previous port film, 2D/3D match, and/or CBCT For Dosimetrists: Unified database Prescription linking ability On-demand DRRs created at the treatment console save back to ARIA DICOM RT treatment record recovery Patient and plan already exist in ARIA. - No redundant data entry - This removes the human factor of importing/exporting treatment plans and images. Simplified pre-treatment QA process. - Eliminates additional QA steps associated with manual data entry or incomplete data import. - Eliminates the need to recreate setup fields, scale DRRs, and associate DRRs to the proper treatment fields. Safety features: Electronic RT prescription is linked directly to the plan. Changes in RT prescription trigger a transition to an unapproved plan status, resulting in the inability to treat the plan. - This helps keep desired changes to the fractional dose from being overlooked. - Reduces the chance of misadministration Simplified 3D plan revisions: Dose is automatically scaled to match the change in prescription when a plan revision is created. Scheduled fractions are automatically updated in ARIA to reflect changes. There is no need to go back to the treatment planning system to create DRRs and export them over to the OIS. This can be done in the treatment preparation workspace within ARIA. In the event the treatment does not save back to the record-and-verify system (e.g., Power outage), the care team will be able to recover the treatment data from the backup files and import them back into ARIA (dose, images and couch coordinates). care more efficient during the treatment planning process.
