FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
mTuitive Meets Cancer Care
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.”
