Required Data Elements
An overarching requirement is that the Knowledge Representation of data elements within the database structures defined match that of the oncological thought processes. In this way, clinical data be fragmented into a database storage schema and then re-constituted without loss of knowledge. This requirement calls for an EPR which has a strong diagnosis/time based approach to data that correctly indicates sequencing and the oncological reasons for events. This thinking is not present in some very widespread Oncology Information Systems (elaboration can be provided if required).
The present and unchanging process of patient management follows the following pattern:
[Diagnosis, Stage, Prognosis, Physiology, Risks, Eligibility] > Intent > Modality Selection > Treatment Delivery > Outcome
| Patient | Consultation | Intent | Modality Selection | Treatment Delivery | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
