2019: Announcement of the concept of VIMIS "Oncology"

On October 18, 2019, TechLAB presented the concept of creating VIMIS Oncology, a vertically integrated medical information system.

As of October 18, several regions are piloting it, as well as integration with this RMIS/GIZZ system.

In this regard, the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation is developing methodological recommendations in accordance with the concept of VIMIS "Oncology."
