Moffitt Cancer Center Supports Personalized Medicine With Oracle Health Sciences Technology
See on Scoop.it - Analytics & Social media impact on Healthcare
— Moffitt Cancer Center has gone live with its next-generation health
and research informatics (HRI) platform, built on Oracle Health
Sciences solutions. In early deployment, the new platform enables
Moffitt to accelerate clinical trial patient recruitment and advance
personalized medicine.
— The new informatics environment, built using Oracle Health Sciences
Enterprise Healthcare Analytics, Oracle Healthcare Master Person
Index, Oracle Fusion Middleware, and Oracle Database 11g, supports
Moffitt’s Total Cancer Care(TM) program by generating new
intelligence from existing systems.
— Securely synthesizing data from numerous clinical sources, a
state-of-the-art biobank, and patient-reported information, the Oracle
solution delivers rapid and accurate analysis that is helping to
reveal new insight around treatment effectiveness at an individual
level, with the goal of advancing personalized medicine initiatives.
— Since deploying the solution, Moffitt has experienced an increase in
the number of data requests from researchers and has streamlined
patient cohort identification for cancer treatment studies.
— Moffitt has automated clinical trial candidate identification,
eliminating a manual effort that required months of reviewing paper
and electronic data sources to identify the best candidates. Today,
researchers can access information on-demand, from their desktops to
find de-identified patient cohorts within minutes.
— Increasing the volume of data available for analysis will enable
Moffitt to identify and validate targeted patient populations for
cancer trials and, thereby, improve clinical trial efficiency and
productivity.
— The HRI platform sets the stage for developing a true Learning
Healthcare System. Data collected electronically at the point-of-care
can be made available for advanced research studies. Discoveries from
this research will ultimately be reincorporated into clinical decision
support tools that facilitate the delivery of individualized and
personalized patient care.
