Data Quality Solutions for Oncology and Precision Medicine
ACCELERATING OUR ABILITY TO OUTSMART CANCER
Having high quality data to support precision medicine and oncology care is critical to advancing cancer research and treatment across the globe.
The United States expenditure on cancer care exceeded $112.5 billion in 20181, and the need for oncology care is projected to increase by over 50% by the year 20402. To provide the best available care, clinicians and researchers must:
Capture
high-resolution patient data for research and clinical analysis
Utilize
up-to-date terminologies as the basis for data quality initiatives
Aggregate
patient data for improved insights
Adhere
to rapidly evolving guidelines
Extract
meaningful information from unstructured patient data
Capturing High-Resolution Patient Data
Using Symedical’s Advanced Terminology Normalization Engine, generate the high-quality clinico-genomic data sets that are required to support the broader goals of using real-world evidence for precision medicine and oncology.
“Data is King: Set against the promise of the [precision medicine] field is the acute awareness among industry experts, researchers and clinicians that, above all, precision medicine relies on data that is high in quantity, quality and diversity.”

Symedical enables normalization and ontological reasoning for complex clinical data.
Utilize up-to-date terminologies to support data quality initiatives
Acquire, maintain, and manage up-to-date standard and local terminologies, ontologies, and value sets in one enterprise platform, including: premier standard oncology terminologies, including NCI Thesaurus, mCODE, SNOMED, ICD, and ClinVar.
Aggregating patient data for improved insights
Data from cohorts of similar patients must be shared, aggregated, and the nuances of both clinical and genomic findings need to be captured. Element Set Manager enables efficient authoring and maintenance of value sets used to classify, categorize, aggregate and understand patient conditions, labs, medications, and other critical data used to treat cancer.

Extracting meaningful information from unstructured data
SIFT Tumor Suite for Symedical helps organizations unleash structured oncology insights using targeted clinical natural language processing (NLP) and precision-engineered, pattern-based matching across terminologies.
Symedical enables extraction of relevant coded clinical concepts from free text.
Ensuring guideline ADHERENCE for best practices in care
The Advanced Clinical Awareness Suite can integrate into guideline adherence solutions, tumor board preparation applications, as well as solutions that target cohorts of patients. It can also be used to achieve customized, rules-based clinical reasoning and to enrich data so that artificial intelligence and machine learning can perform at their highest potential.
