Abstract
Abstract INTRODUCTION ClinicalPath is an evidence-based oncology decision support and analytics tool for cancer care. ClinicalPath’s treatment recommendations are prioritized based on efficacy, toxicity, and cost, by a nationwide committee of oncologists. The pathways are updated quarterly with the most recent evidenced-based treatment options that healthcare providers choose for adoption to help standardize therapy, improve quality, and decrease cost. The pathway system also allows for local clinical trial mapping to promote clinical trial awareness and help increase enrollment. ClinicalPath provides clinical pathways delivering personalized, evidence-based oncology guidance at the point of care. ClinicalPath’s network in North America serves more than 2,000 cancer physicians, within 54 practices in 31 states (15 academic medical centers, 29 hospital systems, and 9 community practices). Population: Our population is derived from multiple hospitals in Southern California within the Providence Health System. Methodology: Medical oncologists and Advanced Practice Providers received training on ClinicalPath before go-live. ClinicalPath was integrated into the Epic EHR in multiple Southern CA hospitals in a single month in Jan 2022. RESULTS On reviewing the utilization data within our Southern California region from Jan 2022-May 2023, 2681 treatment decisions were made across all cancers, with 86.7% of cancer patients treated on pathway. Of these decisions, 114 were made within the neuro-oncology specialty, and 70.2% of those cancer patients were treated on pathway. CONCLUSION We successfully integrated and initiated ClinicalPath in a multiple hospital-affiliated community oncology clinical trial network which included a strong neuro-oncology presence. We are actively working across our Southern California Region to map locally available clinical trials to promote awareness and increase enrollment. Provider utilization and patient on-pathway rates are actively monitored and will be updated.
