Objective:

To evaluate the Onco-Insight platform for data completeness and abstraction turnaround time in the hospital-based cancer registry (HBCR) at Tata Memorial Centre, focusing on sociodemographic, diagnostic, and treatment data.

Key Findings:
  • Of 37,495 registrations in 2021, 32,359 were confirmed cancer cases.
  • Sociodemographic variables were retrieved for 97.59% of cases.
  • Diagnostic variables were retrieved for 43.22% of cases, indicating areas for improvement.
  • Treatment variables were retrieved for 50% of cases, highlighting the need for enhanced data integration.
  • Mean abstraction time decreased from 27.17 minutes to 15.07 minutes, showcasing significant efficiency gains.
Interpretation:

The EMR-integrated Onco-Insight platform improved data retrieval efficiency and reduced abstraction time, potentially enhancing overall cancer registry operations.

Limitations:
  • Manual validation was required for patients treated outside the institution, which may affect data integrity.
  • Follow-up information after cancer-directed therapy remained fully manual, indicating a gap in data automation.
Conclusion:

The Onco-Insight platform enhanced efficiency in data abstraction for HBCR and POCSS, suggesting potential for further improvements in registry operations and data quality.
