Epic Systems and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network are working in collaboration to integrate the NCCN Chemotherapy Order Templates into Epic's Beacon Oncology Information System.
The new offering on Epic's system will allow providers to access electronic chemotherapy protocols through the EHR. Providers will then be able to create treatment plans based on those protocols.
"NCCN is pleased to collaborate with Epic on this new offering, which indeed benefits patients with cancer," said Robert W. Carlson, MD, CEO of NCCN. "Access to the templates within their EHR will assist physicians in ensuring that they are ordering the latest evidence-based chemotherapy regimens for their patients in both the academic and community settings."
