Boston, MA – Lake of the Woods District Hospital in Kenora, Ontario, has selected mTuitive's xPert for Pathology synoptic reporting solution to meet Ontario's 2010-2011 CAP electronic Cancer Checklists (CAP eCC) 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 2010-2011 CAP electronic Cancer Checklists (CAP eCC) data standard developed by the College of American Pathologists (CAP) Cancer Committee, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Joint Committee on Cancer.
