Peterborough Regional Health Center Chooses mTuitive's xPert for Pathology to Meet New CCO Standard
Boston, MA - Peterborough Regional Health Center has selected mTuitive's xPert for Pathology synoptic reporting solution to meet Cancer Care Ontario's 2008-2009 CAP/CS aligned data standards for pathology reporting. Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre and North York General are currently undergoing final testing and will soon be in live production.
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 standards 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.
