Pathology drives quality and performance indicators; enhanced data and information required
An 8-year initiative engaging physicians, administrators, IT, vendors and provincial, national, and international partners
Ontario: 1st jurisdiction anywhere to structure and standardize pathology reporting in eHRs across virtually all hospitals

Not just this:
• discrete data fields electronic data mining
• automatic calculation of key indicators reports back to Pathologist, Surgeon Leads
• regular reporting on completeness of reports = key enabler to achieve high standard of completeness and fosters culture of quality improvement
• physician-level reporting
But this:

Pathology Turn-Around-Time
• pathological assessment of cancer specimens = critical component of patient journey
• first phase: percentage of final CRC resection reports received by CCO within 14
calendar days from date of surgery (target = 90%)
• as of April 1, 2014: measured for all cancer sites (target = 85%)
• identify resource gaps use as a critical driver to bridge resource gaps
(as in other programs, such as surgery, radiation and systemic therapy)
• hospitals expected to explain reasons for variance >2% close performance
gaps – with the support of the region and CCO

Guideline Development 23
Secondary Review Guideline to assess the value of secondary pathology review of samples across cancer sites
Bladder Cancer Guideline to optimize of the pathological assessment of patients with muscle-invasive bladder
cancer
Prior Guidelines • Optimization of Surgical and Pathological Quality Performance in Radical Surgery for Colon and Rectal Cancer: Margins
and Lymph Nodes (April 2008) • Guideline for Optimization of Surgical and Pathological Quality Performance in Radical Prostatectomy in Prostate
Cancer Management (September 2008) • Guideline on Hormone Receptor Testing in Breast Cancer (April 2011)

Majority of patients
diagnosed in late stages of
disease
Increasing number of target
therapies available for treatment requiring
molecular testing
Ensure sufficient tissue is resected
to support diagnosis and
ancillary testing

Lung Cancer Tissue Pathway
Goal
optimize handling of lung cancer specimens – to
support diagnosis, molecular testing and treatment planning for
patients

Biomarkers in Cancer
• CCO currently funds and oversees the following molecular tests on behalf of the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care
• Breast - HER2
• Gastric - HER2
• Colorectal cancer - KRAS
• Melanoma - BRAF
• NSCLC - ALK
28
• decreased implementation time
• streamlined process for implementing and funding tests
• development of a robust QA/test exchange process to monitor and ensure quality

In Summary
1. 8-year change to synoptic reporting with >90% completeness and use of indicators to enhance quality
2. monitoring of pathology turn-around-time with continued improvements
3. guideline development
4. tissue pathways e.g. lung cancer
5. processes for biomarker implementation and funding
