VAR) today announced its ARIA® oncology information
system has achieved Office of the National Coordinator for Health

the functionality that enables eligible providers and hospitals to
meet Meaningful Use requirements, qualifying these organizations to

"We are very pleased to have achieved this certification and the
positive impact it makes for our customers," said Sukhveer Singh, vice president of Varian's

patient data from malicious attacks. The added data protection
helps fight against data breaches so customers can focus on
providing seamless, simplified, and secure patient care.
