1. Clinical Trials — Reduced time for Clinical Trial Recruitment / Matching
This use case's objective is to support the timely and accurate extraction of real-world data elements from Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and clinical protocols to generate a list of potential trials for patient participation. This use case will define a minimum set of USCDI+ cancer data elements needed for clinical trial protocol matching and will include the mapping of these concepts to common data standards such as mCODE. The work performed by this Use Case will inform future FHIR Implementation Guides.
2. Immune-related Adverse Event (irAE) capture
This use case will develop the capability to capture irAE's in a standard, timely, and complete manner in EHR systems. This will streamline our current irAE capture and reporting processes to biopharma, Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and subsequently improve public health. This work aims to make it feasible to run multi-center studies.
3. Increase the speed, completeness, and accuracy in obtaining cancer registry data
The objective of this use case is to enhance the efficiency and timeliness of the collection of cancer registry data. This use cases proposes to use FHIR (and similar) data standards to efficiently extract and/or collect cancer registry data directly from EHRs. Data sharing and linkage approaches for cancer registry data via SEER and CDC/NPCR will be included.
