The software electronically evaluates the medical records of both new and existing AOR patients for potential matches. All members of a cancer patient's team are automatically notified, so the chance of being overlooked is close to nil. Then, after a patient is enrolled in a study, SecureNet manages data collection and analysis, reporting all follow-up processes required for the research studies. The first AOR oncology practice began using the extranet in May 1998. More are coming online as they upgrade their systems.
Results are good so far.
The first day a practice in Oklahoma had the system installed, it received seven cancer trial matches.
