Elekta Technology at Work in 100 Percent of America's Top Cancer Hospitals
Date:8/3/2012

ATLANTA, Aug. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. News & World Report recently issued its annual list of America's best hospitals, including the country's top-ranked hospitals for cancer. All 50 of these cancer hospitals are users of Elekta solutions, which include advanced information management, treatment planning, brachytherapy and treatment delivery.

"Consistently ranking among the best in any care delivery category is testament to the dedication and commitment of a healthcare organization," says Jay Hoey, Executive Vice President, Elekta North America. "We congratulate these hospitals for their great service to patients, are we are honored that these organizations ranking the best in cancer care delivery, in particular, have chosen Elekta solutions to treat their patients."

U.S. News & World Report grades hospitals not on routine procedures but on how well they manage complex, demanding situations. The 2,227 hospitals that met the initial selection criteria received a score between 0 and 100. This score was based on the hospitals' reputation, patient safety and care-related factors such as nursing and patient services. The 50 highest-scoring hospitals were ranked.

These hospitals were ranked in 16 specialties such as cancer, orthopedics, urology and heart disease. Only 148 hospitals – of the 4,793 in the original analysis – scored high enough to be ranked in even one of the 16 specialties. Of these hospitals, an Honor Roll of 17 Best Hospitals was chosen, all of which provide care with the help of an Elekta solution.

In the top-50 cancer specialty hospitals listed, all 50, or 100 percent, utilize Elekta equipment or software, including:

  • Leksell Gamma Knife® or Leksell Gamma Knife® Perfexion™, a non-invasive method for treating brain tumors and other neurological disorders.
