Here is a summary of the @ASCO Minimal Common Oncology Data Elements (#mCODE) project ... in thread format
#ASCO19

1/ Problem:
#clinicaltrials continue to be the primary way to answer question in oncology but few patients enroll. Despite more data being stored in the #EHR, we can't easily combine data across systems as few are interoperable. This is a missed opportunity.

2/ Solution:
#mCODE is a newly proposed data standard that leverages and expands existing data standards to promote answering clinically meaningful oncology questions across medical records allowing us to learn from more patients

3/ Introduction:
@ASCOPres Dr. Bertagnolli has a great video introduction to #mCODE

4/ Engage:
The data dictionary is now live at
mcodeinitiative.org
You can review the project, apply for the #mCODE Council, download the full data dictionary, and more

5/ Current Progress:
The first clinical pilot, Compass, is also live at Intermountain Healthcare @intermtncancer @MITREhealth #mCODE

6/ Collaboration:
This is an ambitious project with numerous collaborators @ASCO #CancerLinQ @ALLIANCE_org @MITREhealth @BidenCancer @intermtncancer @theNCI @HL7 @BrighamWomens @FDAOncology @rsm2800 @WendyRubinstein #ASCO19 #BigData #mCODE

7/ Next Steps:
For any new standard, adoption will be key to success. Support, engage, advocate.
