In our initial demonstration project, the CancerX community sprinted into action to support the collective efforts of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI), the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) to advance cancer-related data standards. Specifically, we provided additional support and insights into the ongoing collaboration between the CMMI’s Enhancing Oncology Model (EOM) and the development of ONC’s United States Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI+) – Oncology extension, which aims to support the establishment of domain-specific data element lists as extensions to the existing USCDI. The CancerX Startup Accelerator is the first-ever innovation accelerator focused on the intersection of digital innovation and cancer. We have brought together champions, innovators, and expert users of oncology digital technology to help boost the development of these promising startups that have strong potential to solve unmet needs in cancer care.
