Pathology™ to Meet CCO Standard
Becomes the tenth Ontario hospital to implement xPert for Pathology
Boston, MA—Sudbury Regional Hospital in Sudbury, Ontario has selected
mTuitive’s xPert for Pathology synoptic reporting solution to meet Cancer Care
Ontario’s 2008-2009 CAP/CS aligned data standard for pathology reporting.
Standardized pathology reporting increases the availability and consistency of cancer pathology
information that is essential for treatment decisions, evaluation, and research.
mTuitive complies with the 2008-2009 CAP/CS aligned data standard developed by Cancer Care
Ontario in conjunction with the College of American Pathologists (CAP) Cancer Committee, the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Joint Committee on Cancer. The
CAP checklists1 for breast, lung, colorectal, prostate, and endometrium were amended to include
the mandatory pathologic collaborative staging elements.
xPert for Pathology interfaces with all available Pathology and Laboratory Information Systems
on the market which lends itself to wide use throughout the province. Other Ontario hospitals
utilizing mTuitive’s xPert for Pathology synoptic reporting solution to meet the CCO data
standard include Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre, The Scarborough Hospital,
North York General Hospital, Lakeridge Health, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and the
Rouge Valley Health System, Bluewater Health, Peterborough Regional Health Centre and
