Care maps, utilization, and outcomes: a viable solution.
Clearly, the changing healthcare environment and specific forces confronting cancer therapy today are necessitating collection and analysis of utilization, cost, and outcomes information. Manual tracking of information or tracking through multiple, disparate computer systems are cost--prohibitive alternatives to enabling cancer centers to efficiently and effectively manage these sophisticated information needs. However, the implementation of a cancer-therapy management system, which includes a disease-based process model of treatment and facilitates data-collection at the point of care, is now a strategic imperative for healthcare organizations.
