mTuitive and Stratford General Hospital Achieve 100% Compliance with CCO Standard
Boston, MA –In March, as part of the Cancer Care Ontario Synoptic Reporting project, Stratford General Hospital went live with mTuitive’s xPert for Pathology synoptic reporting system. Today, Cancer Care Ontario announced that Stratford General has reached 100% compliance with the 2008-2009 College of American Pathologist/Collaborative Stage-aligned data standard adopted by Cancer Care Ontario. The current standard, Phase I, includes five disease sites: Breast, lung, prostate, endometrium and colorectal.
