Elsevier, the information analytics business specialising in science and health, will integrate the National Comprehensive Cancer Network's NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) and utilise the NCCN Chemotherapy Order Templates (NCCN Templates®) as a reference into Via Oncology's Via Portal to provide clinical decision support at point of care and NCCN Guidelines® concordance reporting. The NCCN Guidelines will also be used as a reference resource for developing and maintaining the Via Pathways.
Beginning in 2019, the Via Portal will be enhanced to include drugs and biologics recommendations from the NCCN Guidelines for use when providers are going off pathway. The Via Portal will ultimately include 34 NCCN Guidelines support for all Via Pathways diseases for Medical Oncology.
The NCCN Guidelines are the recognised standard for clinical and policy decisions in cancer care and are the most thorough and most frequently updated clinical practice guidelines available in any area of medicine. Derived directly from the NCCN Guidelines, the NCCN Templates include chemotherapy and immunotherapy regimens with literature support, supportive care agents, monitoring parameters and safety instructions. The goal of the NCCN Templates is to enhance patient safety by empowering healthcare providers to standardise patient care, reduce medical errors, and anticipate and manage adverse events.
Via Oncology helps cancer centers demonstrate the value of their care to patients, referring physicians and payers, by developing and implementing clinical pathways in collaboration with its network of more than 2,000 US cancer care providers. Via Oncology's Via Pathways includes evidence-based proprietary content developed by committees composed of leading oncologists that forms the basis of clinical algorithms covering 95 percent of cancer types treated in the US.
The Via Pathways are deployed to physicians and their staff at the point of care through the Via Portal, a patient-specific decision support tool that is integrated with the electronic medical record and provides seamless measurement of adherence. Via Pathways addresses more than 2,000 unique patient presentations, including expert-defined clinical algorithms and specific recommendations for all significant aspects of cancer care.
