Cancer Treatment Centers of America, in collaboration with NantHealth and Allscripts, is implementing a custom technical solution that, for the first time, enables eviti, a NantHealth clinical decision support solution, access to clinical workflows in the Allscripts Sunrise electronic health record.

With integration of this clinical decision support solution, the Clinical Pathways program helps inform the cancer treatment process, without interrupting the physician’s clinical workflow.

The direct interface of the clinical operating system was built with the input of hundreds of oncologists across the nation and holds a comprehensive collection of evolving cancer care data. Clinical Pathways integrates the latest cancer research available, treatment regimens and complementary therapies into the Allscripts Sunrise EHR, giving oncologists the ability to create a curated list of care protocols at the point of care.

When the treatment platform is engaged, it provides:

  • Custom treatment regimens specific to the patient, their health and specific disease state

  • Comparisons between treatment options, including average market cost of delivery

  • Computer order entry with the tap of the screen – safe for the patient and efficient

  • Each treatment regimen recommended by eviti is mapped within the EHR to proprietary CTCA order sets that reflect an integrative approach to care delivery, which combines evidence-based clinical approaches with supportive therapies to meet each patient›s unique needs and optimize their quality of life while undergoing cancer treatment

  • Access to referenced up-to-date guidelines, response rates, adverse drug reactions and toxicity

  • Supporting clinical data

  • Real-time functionality

The integration of the eviti solution with Allscripts Sunrise EHR for Clinical Pathways allows physicians to retrieve information from an unbiased Evidence-Based Medical Library, which encompasses over 2,700 treatment regimens covering all cancers and cancer subtypes and all modalities.

Each regimen incorporates the level of evidence, expected clinical outcomes, treatment costs, toxicities and supporting literature. Once a regimen is selected, providers can launch directly into order entry through Allscripts’ open ability to integrate eviti regimens with Sunrise order sets.

The Trump administration did exactly what it said it would do to disorient anyone involved in making policy or touched by it. The president and his crew have “flooded the zone”—the term and the image are theirs, as is the strategy of dropping a flurry of executive orders and memoranda that shake the foundations of the American system of government, raising questions of legality and constitutionality, and, above all, making it a challenge for anyone to see the entire picture and think strategically.
In two raucous back-to-back hearings on Jan. 29 and Jan. 30, anti-vaccine crusader Robert F.

Over the past century, groundbreaking cancer research in the U.S. has led to life-saving medical advances that benefit patients worldwide. Scientists often devote their lives to making discoveries, putting their scientific endeavors ahead of status, income, or lifestyle. Investigators work tirelessly, often seven days a week, to solve complex medical problems. These efforts often lead to game-changing outcomes that help us understand difficult medical challenges, advance technologies and develop new therapies.
