Kansas City, Mo.-based Cerner Corp. will integrate evidence-based care guidelines from The National Comprehensive Cancer Network into its Millennium health care information system. Fort Washington, Pa.-based NCCN is an alliance of 21 cancer centers that develops resources to help oncology care.
Cerner will integrate the network's Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology, Drugs and Biologics Compendium and Standards Chemotherapy Order Templates guidelines into the Millennium software.
The first application was developed through a review of evidence and input from medical experts. It addresses cancer detection, prevention and risk reduction; workup and diagnosis; and treatment and supportive care. The Drugs and Biologics Compendium offers information about the use of various drugs and biologics in oncology care. It lists disease indications and specific recommendations for use.
