Workflows in cancer treatment and their influence upon clinical documentation.
To establish single source cancer documentation for a complete comprehensive cancer center CCC we performed a systematic analysis of diagnostic, therapeutic and documentation workflows for 13 cancer entities. Results suggest that we will need three types of clinical documentation to cover all cancer entities of the Erlangen CCC. We expect to have a workflow for solid entities with inpatient treatment, one for solid entities treated ambulatory and one for non solid cancer entities.
