On the 27th of november 2014 the CytoWeb user group gathered in ‘La Ferme du Bois d’Arpesin’ in Nivelles. Again, it was a great experience where oncologists, pharmacists and nurses exchanged thoughts, participated in workshops and enjoyed a wonderful dinner afterwards.

After a brief recapitulation of the highlights of past year, an explanation about our social media tool Yammer, we got to business with a demo of the upcoming version 3.0 of CytoWeb. The reaction of the room was very positive. The reactivity, the responsiveness and the ergonomics of the new version were very appreciated.

Oncologists, pharmacists and nurses of more than 10 hospitals participated in different workshops after this demo.

The first workshop focused on the role of CytoWeb when prescribing treatments for patients. Hosted by Jean Auquier, the participating oncologists discussed various topics, such as improved warnings and alerts, and proposed nice improvements to the tool.

In the next workshop hosted by Tristan Evain and Frederic Costenoble, the present pharmacists discussed the current preparation flow in Cytoweb, the extended preparation flow that will developed in the 3.1, and what other adjustments could be made to CytoWeb.

During the last workshop, hosted by Thierry Parquet and Olivier Vanekem, the nursing staff discussed the last pillar of CytoWeb, the administration of the prescriptions, and how this could be integrated in the other tools used by the nurses.
