Introducing ProCLIPS^®, the first oncology and radiation oncology electronic chart plus clinical database for use by cancer specialists. This is software that no oncology department should be without!

Don't be the last one to get the FREE, fully functional single user version. ProCLIPS^® has been downloaded over 2600 times so far!

ProCLIPS^® is the first software transcription package designed specifically for oncology. Information registered into and retrieved from ProCLIPS^® is critical to health care professionals, their patients and the guardians of modern health care systems.

What is ProCLIPS?
ProCLIPS^® is a hybrid between a clinical database and an electronic chart. It was developed to facilitate outcome analyses, to support a distributed transcription pool, and to help track patients' charts. It can be used for many departmental operations including quality assurance,

• departmental census,
• individual patient chart reviews,
• chart reconstruction,
• survival and many other outcome analyses,
• chart tracking and bar coding,
• numerous other day to day departmental operations.

Using ProCLIPS could not be easier! Here's how:

1. Install ProCLIPS (Using the NEW Installshield^® interface - installation is a breeze!)
2. Dictate a patient note (use the simple dictation format below)
3. Have your transcriptionists enter information into ProCLIPS instead of your office word processor.

These forms may be folded to create a handy pocket reminder of how to dictate each note. We even have helper notes to download to your US Robotics Pilot!  Finally, if you send your name, address and phone to sales@proclips.com, we will send you a free pocket-sized laminated ProCLIPS dictation guide.

It really is that simple! If you are already dictating your patient notes, you have nothing to lose. And, intuitive dictation formats are used, so it is likely that very that very little you do will change. In fact, take a look (Dictation Format Page 1) - you probably already dictate this way!

Why is ProCLIPS Important?
It is critical for cancer specialists to know the outcomes of all patients they have treated. ProCLIPS is the only software tool that provides that information, without creating extra work. No other registry software has ProCLIPS' capabilities to function as both and electronic chart and outcome reporter.

ProCLIPS^® was originally developed for radiation oncology. It is adaptable for other cancer specialties including surgical oncology and medical oncology. It operates over numerous platforms including DOS, Windows 3.11^®, Windows 95^®, Windows NT^® (3.51 and 4.0) and Macintosh^®. It is designed around a networked relational database (FoxPro^®).

In the largest ProCLIPS^® installation to date, both Macintosh^® and Windows^® users are operating simultanously on over 40 workstations in an extented wide-area network routed between several hospitals. ProCLIPS generates all the clinical paper notes that are filed on patient charts. ProCLIPS can also construct rudimentary abstracts, calculate and print actuarial survival curves and perform numerous other helpful tasks. These include bar coding and tracking of both patient charts and treatment films, reconstructing patient charts that have been lost or misplaced, support for administrative review of charge levels...

ProCLIPS^® has been in use for over 7 years. Currently, over 150,000 patients have been registered on ProCLIPS^®-enabled systems world-wide.

ProCLIPS^® is currently operating in version 2.6.25. Version 3.0 (Visual ProCLIPS^®) is in beta. ProCLIPS^® Single User version for Windows 95^® and Windows NT^® is available FREE for download without support .

In the Works...

• AOTR will be creating an experimental WINS server that will contain the fully functional executables for remote mounting and utilization. This will allow ProCLIPS^® users who have direct Internet access to maintain their secure data files locally while utilizing the most up-to-date ProCLIPS^® executables remotely.
• ODBC hooks to ProCLIPS data files have already been developed. Soon, ProCLIPS users will be able to provide other physicians with patient notes instantly and securely over the Internet. Join the beta team by contacting AOTR at sales@proclips.com.
• We are experimenting with voice recognition. Stay tuned - we believe that routine use of this technology is less than 2 years away.
