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
