Oncology Informatics: Using Health Information Technology to Improve Processes and Outcomes in Cancer Care

Oncology Informatics: Using Health Information Technology to Improve Processes and Outcomes in Cancer Care encapsulates NCI-collected evidence into a format that is optimally useful for hospital planners, physicians, researchers, and informaticians alike as they collectively strive to accelerate progress against cancer using informatics tools. Anyone who wishes to take full advantage of the health information revolution in oncology to accelerate successes against cancer will find the information in this book valuable. It is a translational guide for moving evidence into practice, and meets recommendations from the national Academies of Science to reorient the research portfolio toward providing greater cognitive support for physicians, patients, and their caregivers to improve patient outcomes. Data from systems studies have suggested that oncology and primary care systems are prone to errors of omission that can lead to fatal consequences downstream. By infusing the best science across disciplines, this book creates new environments of smart and connected health and acts as a formational guide for turning clinical systems into engines of discovery. Following recommendations from the IOM's Roundtable on Evidence-Based Medicine, the authors encapsulate best practice for creating a Learning Healthcare System in oncology. Presents a pragmatic perspective for practitioners and allied health care professionals on how to implement Health I.T. solutions in a way that will minimize disruption while optimizing practice goalsProposes evidence-based guidelines for designers on how to create system interfaces that are easy to use, efficacious, and timesavingOffers insight for researchers into the ways in which informatics tools in oncology can be utilized to shorten the distance between discovery and practice INDICE: I.
