This is an ambitious project with numerous collaborators @ASCO #CancerLinQ @ALLIANCE_org @MITREhealth @BidenCancer @intermtncancer @theNCI @HL7 @BrighamWomens @FDAOncology @rsm2800 @WendyRubinstein #ASCO19 #BigData #mCODE
For any new standard, adoption will be key to success. Support, engage, advocate.
