Synopsis: Most hospitals are a year or more behind on oncology data submission, but stronger data management practices and tools offer a clear path forward.
When clinicians are forced to choose between patient care and data submission, patient care rightly comes first. But that tradeoff has created a growing oncology data backlog, leaving hospitals struggling to keep pace with registry requirements and real-time insights. These delays hinder cancer programs’ ability to deliver timely, effective care, advance treatment discoveries, and address disparities across patient populations. The good news: new tools, services, and third-party partnerships offer scalable solutions for cancer programs to manage data more efficiently, reduce backlogs, and improve outcomes across the board.
