eOutcomes Physician Staging Manager

eOutcomes Physician Staging Managers web-based application is designed to streamline the physician staging process electronically, eliminating the manual processes associated with obtaining and managing physician staging.

Accurate and complete physician staging is essential to determine the most effective cancer treatment, which in turn directly impacts patient outcomes. Proper staging and classification allow physicians not only to determine appropriate treatment and evaluate results of management, but also to compare statistical information. Technologic advancements and the continuous pressure to develop innovative approaches to cancer diagnosis and treatment challenge providers to find cost-effective quality-driven electronic solutions to move away from current methods of manual processes.

In the continual effort to obtain and manage physician staging, cancer programs face many challenges:

Compliance with the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer:
Approved programs are required to have AJCC staging be assigned by the managing Physician and documented in the medical record on 90% of eligible analytic cases. While current processes utilized to obtain physician staging vary, there are several commonalities – extensive manual processing:
  • Appropriate AJCC Staging Form and Pathology Report printed and forwarded to physician for completion.
  • Manual processing of completed forms once returned.
  • Manual processing of physician compliance.

Completion Errors:
As with any manual process, there are multiple chances for human error to affect the data. The data entered on the AJCC Staging Form is processed and manually entered into an electronic or paper data system. Incomplete forms or lost forms related to manual processes leads to delays, which have the potential to directly impact patient care.

Recognizing the impact of complete and accurate staging on patient treatment and the future of cancer care, eOutcomes utilizes patented technology to eliminate the impractical and inconvenient methods of obtaining and managing physician staging; streamlining processes that in turn yield higher compliance with ACOS CoC standards and directly impact patient care.
