Image ModifiedOncology is a fertile field for the development of what the Institute of Medicine terms a “Rapid Learning Health System.” To this end, the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) created CancerLinQ, a system designed to enable a virtuous cycle in which research drives care and data from routine care helps to inform the next generation of treatment standards and research questions. CancerLinQ is a community of oncology practices that have joined together in this goal, as well as a specific technology platform that enables the collection, aggregation and harmonization of data from Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems for the purpose of improving quality of care for patients. Methods used to extract, process and manage data in CancerLinQ, as well as general properties of the CancerLinQ data sets will be discussed.
