Abstract:
76 Background: Tokushukai group has a nation-wide network of 67 affiliated hospitals, and has started an “oncology project” to improve the quality of cancer care using web-based SRS and CCR systems. Methods: Every institution has been introduced the same electric-medical-record (EMR) to share the unified code to order chemotherapy regimens, and patient data could be collected on a database in the central office. 141 recommended regimens for 15 types of solid tumor have been approved in the cancer committee consisting of working-group and program-evaluation members. In breast cancer, 31 recommended regimens (7 for adjuvant and 24 for metastatic settings) were selected from the NCCN guidelines and approved by the committee. Not only recommended but also non-recommended regimens have their own specific codes in EMR, and the patterns of care in the selection of chemotherapy regimen were examined. Results: In 2011, 21 of 67 hospitals utilized these systems. 71.8% of 2,676 patients with cancer including 753 with colorectal, 317 with breast, 273 with gastric, 144 with non-small cell lung, 123 with pancreatic, and 73 patients with esophageal cancer had received 97 types of recommended therapies (11,022 cycles). In terms of breast cancer, 86% of 388 patients had been treated with recommended regimens (1,994 cycles). Among 71 patients received non-recommend therapies, only 6 patients (1.5%) had been treated with three regimens which were not regarded as standard regimens. Conclusions: The introduction of web-based SRS and CCR systems in a large medical group could facilitate standard chemotherapy regimen by an accurate examination of current treatment patterns.
