Visibility to necessary patient information enables more efficient collaboration

Success story

Multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals in a meeting, discussing medical images displayed on a screen in a modern conference room.

Hospital del Mar, Barcelona

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.

Situation

Lack of standardization and inefficient tumor board preparation

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.

navify® Clinical Hub for Tumor Boards 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.
