Addressing challenges in oncology care
.png)
With the increasing volume of clinical research and oncology treatment guidelines, healthcare professionals face challenges in accessing and interpreting the most up-to-date, relevant clinical guidelines for their patients. Multiple guidelines exist for the treatment of various types of cancer, and these can be difficult to navigate, particularly when trying to integrate them into the workflow of a busy healthcare environment. The need for accurate, current, and easily accessible guidelines is critical, especially as oncology treatments and practices continue to evolve.
Furthermore, healthcare institutions may have unique treatment pathways that differ from national or international standards, necessitating the ability to customize and display these pathways to ensure consistency in care delivery across the organization.
Building a unified oncology guidelines solution
In tackling the technical complexities of oncology care, we focused on creating a seamless and comprehensive solution that enhanced both the user experience and treatment outcomes.
- A platform designed to integrate the latest NCCN guidelines to align with the healthcare organization’s unique practices.
- The solution presented clinical guidelines in a digital flowchart format, providing clinicians with a clear, interactive path for each treatment option, improving accessibility and understanding.
- Clinicians could now easily search for and retrieve relevant treatment protocols through a streamlined query system, ensuring they had access to the latest, most accurate guidelines.
- By linking each guideline to its source, clinicians were empowered to independently review and verify the information, increasing transparency and trust in the guidelines.
The application is explicitly designed to support healthcare professionals in their decision-making but is not intended to replace professional judgment or be used as a primary diagnostic tool.

The Oncology Guidelines application was implemented across multiple healthcare institutions and integrated into existing hospital information systems. The application was accessible through web-based platforms, with mobile support for on-the-go usage. The time spent by clinicians searching for relevant treatment protocols was reduced by 60%, significantly improving workflow efficiency.
- Increased Access to Guidelines: Healthcare professionals now have immediate access to a comprehensive library of oncology guidelines, helping them stay up to date with the latest treatment recommendations without the need for manual searches across multiple resources.
- Enhanced Decision-Making: The flowchart interface allowed for easier navigation of complex treatment protocols, enabling faster decision-making and more consistent care delivery.
- Customization Adoption: Institutions adopted the customization features, ensuring that treatment pathways were aligned with their organizational standards while still incorporating nationally and internationally recognized guidelines.
- Streamlined Workflows: Integration with existing systems streamlined workflows, reducing time spent searching for guidelines and allowing healthcare professionals to focus more on patient care.
By combining the latest oncology treatment guidelines with customized institutional pathways, Ideas2IT successfully empowered healthcare providers to enhance clinical decision-making, streamline workflows, and improve patient care outcomes.
