##### Medicom’s Transformative Impact on Ironwood Cancer & Research Centers

With a diverse oncology network, robust Integrative Services, dedicated research programs and a growing Women’s oncology program, Ironwood Cancer & Research Centers (ICRC) has expanded to 15+ locations across the United States.

> _"Medicom checked all of our boxes and is far superior than the other vendors we considered. Ever since the in-person onboarding, they have worked by our side, accommodating our every need. If a problem arises, we can go directly to their team for a solution, they are easy to talk to and quick to respond. Medicom just gets it - They truly are an extension of our team."_ **_Jordan Lopes, IT Applications Manager_**

**260% Growth in network connections since implementing Medicom in 2019**

## Problems worth solving

**Physical Media and VPNs –**

Ironwood had a significant amount of priors in the form of physical media, often delaying treatment due to difficulties opening CDs/DVDs. For patients referred from health systems with VPN connections for image exchange, establishing new connections with those sites was slow and labor intensive and offered unreliable and clunky workflows.

**Multiple Cloud Providers –**

Interfacing with multiple cloud vendors for image exchange was most commonly caused:

- Inaccurate patient matching
- Inconsistent workflows across various cloud providers

## Solutions & Results

- **Medicom Connect:** ImageX, Patient Link and UpLink for locating patient priors and sharing them securely
- **Workflow Automation:** Auto order generation and Auto Retrieval of priors to assist with out of network image sharing
