Tumor Board: Hospital del Mar

Hospital del Mar, Barcelona, has one of the most outstanding scientific outputs in Spain, carrying out projects that bring science closer to the health of the people it treats.

Its nine subspecialty tumor boards — breast, colorectal, lung, gynecological, urological, cutaneous, melanoma, endocrine and otorhinolaryngology — provide a multidisciplinary approach to cancer treatment.

Problem

Each specialist on a tumor board followed his or her own protocol to develop static presentations for weekly meetings without standardization across tumor boards. Presentations were inefficient. Differences between radiological and pathologic recommendations required manual follow up, adding to tumor board preparation for each discipline and taking precious time from collaboration in the weekly conference.

Solution

navify Tumor Board was selected to improve tumor board planning and preparation with relevant data consolidated in one place. navify Tumor Board currently facilitates efficient breast cancer tumor board meetings and is rolling out to lung cancer conferences.

Results

navify Tumor Board standardized preparation and presentation processes, so physicians can easily include necessary information, images and findings. Radiology and Pathology can compare interpretations virtually, saving time and showing context to optimize the surgeon’s tumor board preparation. The tumor board meeting is now a smaller part of multidisciplinary team collaboration because specialists have easy access to patient-specific data in navify Tumor Board — anytime, anywhere, through any device with an Internet connection.*

[navify Tumor Board] is very helpful … integrating all the information in a fast and dynamic way. It really decreased the effort needed to gather and prepare everything for the tumor board and, most importantly, decreased the errors that one could make in that preparation.
