Using Cancer Registry Data To Improve Adherence With Breast Cancer Pathways.

127Background: Evidence-based clinical pathways have been shown to improve quality and cost effectiveness. Moffitt Cancer Center (MCC) has developed clinical pathways for more than 50 cancer sites. Using data derived from multiple sources, we performed a series of measurements of adherence to breast cancer (ca) pathways, provided clinician feedback and evaluated changes over time. Methods: We developed an automated method to evaluate pathway adherence for 1st line systemic treatment (tx) recommendations using data from Stages I-IV analytic breast ca cases presenting to MCC for tx during calendar years (CY) 2013-2015. As a baseline, cases were manually audited for adherence in CY 2012. Data sources included Cancer Registry and electronic health record (EHR). A patient (pt) was considered “On” pathway if the correct tx, including relevant clinical trials, was administered based on various prognostic and clinical factors. Only pts who received all 1st line systemic tx at MCC were included. Pts who refused tx...
