Getting started with Tumor Board Collaboration Platform

The Tumor Board Collaboration Platform brings each patient's pathology, imaging, clinical notes, staging and molecular results into a single case view for the multidisciplinary conference. Coordinators build the agenda, specialists prepare their part ahead of time, and the board's recommendation is recorded with who attended and what was discussed. The record supports your cancer program's accreditation reporting and goes back to the patient's chart.

What it is for

Tumor boards depend on many specialists preparing the same case from different systems. Coordinators chase case submissions by email, pathologists and radiologists pull up studies one by one during the meeting, and presenters build slides by copying from the chart. Recommendations end up in meeting minutes or a note that is hard to find later, and showing an accreditor which cases were discussed prospectively, who attended and whether staging and guidelines were addressed means assembling spreadsheets after the fact.

• Case submissions and preparation are coordinated by email and spreadsheets
• Pathology, imaging and notes are opened in separate systems during the meeting
• Recommendations are hard to find later and are not always returned to the chart
• Accreditation evidence on attendance and case discussion is assembled by hand
