FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
mTuitive Meets Cancer Care Ontario
Boston, MA — mTuitive’s xPert™ for Pathology
version 1.0.5 synoptic reporting solution has been certified by Cancer Care
Ontario (CCO) authorizing them as a vendor that can assist Ontario hospitals
with meeting CCO’s 2008-2009 CAP/CS aligned data
standards for pathology reporting.
Standardized pathology
reporting increases the availability and consistency of cancer pathology
information that is essential for treatment decisions, evaluation and research.
Over the past two years, CCO has made substantial progress working with
hospitals. In an effort to continue to support them, CCO has developed a
process to certify specific vendor solutions against defined reporting
standards. The certification of a vendor solution is the first step to
validating that it can be implemented or enhanced to assist the hospitals in
meeting the new standards.
mTuitive complies with the
2008-2009 CAP/CS aligned data standards developed by Cancer Care Ontario in
conjunction with the College of American Pathologists (CAP) Cancer
Committee, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American
Joint Committee on Cancer. The CAP checklists1 for breast,
lung, colorectal, prostate and endometrium were
amended to include the mandatory pathological collaborative staging elements.
mTuitive’s xPert™ for Pathology version
1.0.5 should be able to assist hospitals with meeting the new CCO reporting
standards for cancer-related pathology reporting in
“mTuitive
is proud to be certified and given the opportunity to help support one of the
most forward-thinking cancer organizations in the world,” said mTuitive CEO
John Murphy. “We look forward to aiding CCO in attaining their current and
future strategic goals.”
