Prostaatkankerrichtlijn: een routekaart in Oncoguide, beslisbomen en informatiestandaard

The Dutch prostate cancer guidelines have been converted as a route map into decision trees that will be implemented in a digital support system named Oncoguide in the autumn of 2018. Based on the decision trees an information standard can be constructed which creates unity of language and facilitates data sharing and reuse of data. By providing individual patient and disease characteristics to the decision trees, Oncoguide directs the healthcare professional step by step to a treatment advice. A decision support tool such as Oncoguide provides a treatment advice based on the national guidelines. To make the decision support applicable during a MDT and to import patient data directly from the multidisciplinary team meeting (MDT) into the EPD, synoptic reporting is required.
