Emory Case Study Overview
Follow one of the radiation oncologists at Emory Healthcare and you'll cover a lot of territory. Emory radiation oncologists have demands in many locations--their offices, patient exam rooms, the neurosurgery department, satellite treatment facilities, the medical school, professional conferences, and their homes. VelocityGRID lets Emory physicians do their work anywhere they want. This freedom isn't simply a matter of convenience. It helps the whole radiation oncology department perform more efficiently. In this case study, Emory radiation oncologists share how they use VelocityGRID and how it benefits them.
