ISIS and its various components has been successfully used in the following projects:

 

CancerCare Manitoba

CancerCare ManitobaAIM's ISIS-CSP was implemented in Manitoba, Canada in support of the province's cervical cancer screening program, helping to protect over 500,000 women by screening pap test results and providing follow-up notices to their physicians.

Cancer Care Ontario

Cancer Care Ontario AIM developed the Pathology Information Management System (PIMS), an electronic tumor pathology reporting system to support rapid population-wide surveillance of cancer. The system is being expanded to include pathology data from over 100 Ontario laboratories. The PIMS system improves compliance, timeliness and quality of information submitted to the Ontario Cancer Registry. It reduces the cost of processing reports, and provides efficient access to relevant information by researchers and clinicians.

In 2005, this project won the CIPA Gold Award of Excellence in the category of Organizational Transformation. PIMS uses ISIS components and TransMed

City of Hope National Medical Center

City of Hope National Medical Center ISIS components are being used at City of Hope in Los Angeles to view, edit and annotate reports that are being sent to the Los Angeles County Cancer Surveillance Program. City of Hope is one of several Los Angeles hospitals that is using AIM's E-path system to prepare pathology reports in a way that is acceptable to the cancer registry.

INSCYTE Corporation

Inscyte CorporationAIM developed and maintains the Centralized Medical Record for Cervical Cytology (CytoBase) in support of Ontario's cervical screening program using ISIS components and TransMed. This system helps to protect over 3 million women in Ontario by tracking pap smear results and providing information to their physicians.

The lab results stored in the INSCYTE database can be securely accessed in real-time by registered physicians through an internet based interface developed by HealthDesk, AIM's subsidiary, called CytoBase for Clinicians. This provides healthcare providers with current information that promotes the best care for their patients.

Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario (POGO)

Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario (POGO)AIM designed, implemented and maintains a Provincial information system for recording patient-identified data on pediatric cancer in Ontario. This system uses ISIS technology to link 5 major tertiary hospitals to the central system in Toronto, where it is used to gather statistics regarding children's cancer control and treatment.

Saskatchewan Cancer Agency

Saskatchewan Cancer AgencyAIM developed Saskatchewan's Screening Program for Breast Cancer. This centralized database and application uses ISIS components. This program is used to protect women, over 50, in Saskatchewan by screening test results and providing follow-up notices to their physicians.

Utah Cancer Registry

Utah Cancer RegistryAIM designed and implemented an innovative E-Path solution for the automated electronic submission of pathology reports that securely and efficiently delivers data from lab to cancer registry. This system improves quality of data while automating the process of gathering and filtering pathology results that monitor the incidence of cancer in Utah.

The E-Path system converts reports to standardized terminology and encodes medical content. AutoCode, TransMed and ISIS components are the AIM products that work together to provide this E-Path solution.
