Problem

Ten subspecialty tumor boards relied on legacy technologies and data from disparate sources, manually searched and added to PowerPoint presentations. Residents spent up to six hours a week preparing for each conference.¹ MU needed an improved, electronic process to coordinate tumor board conferences and a streamlined method by which to pull and visualize data from diverse sources.

Solution

MU onboarded navify Tumor Board* for four conferences in quick succession. MU’s Cerner EHR was integrated to automate preparation and presentation.

navify Tumor Board* streamlined processes and improved access to key patient data and assets (e.g. images), enabling participants to submit patient cases weeks in advance of tumor board meetings.

Results

• Time savings in tumor board preparation and discussion time across user groups in multiple tumor boards^2-3
• Efficiency gains translated to cost savings in multiple tumor board specialties⁴
• Standardized care coordination through significant variance reduction in case preparation and case discussion time^2-3
