Cambridge Memorial Hospital
Chooses mTuitive's xPert for Pathology to Meet CCO Standard
CMH becomes the ninth Ontario hospital to implement xPert for Pathology.
Boston, MA - Cambridge Memorial Hospital in
Cambridge, Ontario has selected mTuitive's xPert for Pathology synoptic
reporting solution to meet Cancer Care Ontario's 2008-2009 CAP/CS aligned data
standard for pathology reporting.
Standardized pathology reporting increases the
availability and consistency of cancer pathology information that is essential
for treatment decisions, evaluation, and research.
mTuitive complies with the 2008-2009 CAP/CS
aligned data standard developed by Cancer Care Ontario in conjunction with the
College of American Pathologists (CAP) Cancer Committee, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention and the American Joint Committee on Cancer. The
CAP checklists1 for breast, lung, colorectal, prostate, and endometrium were
amended to include the mandatory pathologic collaborative staging elements.
xPert

Information Systems on the market which lends itself to wide use throughout the
province. Other Ontario hospitals utilizing mTuitive's xPert for
Pathology synoptic reporting solution to meet the CCO data standard include
