Partnership to enable cancer care centers to
improve access and efficiency of clinical studies and research
Flatiron Health, a leading healthtech company dedicated to
expanding the possibilities of point of care solutions in oncology
and closing the gap between care and research, today announced a
collaboration with the Association of Cancer Care Centers (ACCC), a
powerful network of more than 40,000 multidisciplinary
practitioners from cancer care communities nationwide, to promote
increased access to cancer clinical trials in the community setting
and provide member practices with access to Flatiron Clinical
Pipe™, a cutting-edge electronic health record (EHR) to electronic
data capture (EDC) connector that improves efficiency and reduces
time and effort of clinical study data capture.
"This collaboration with Flatiron Health marks a significant
moment for us at ACCC. By bringing cutting-edge tech to our
community cancer centers, this partnership will make clinical
trials more accessible, streamline data management, and help us
deliver improved care to our patients across cancer care settings
more efficiently and effectively,” said Sumanta K. Pal, MD, FASCO,
Chair, ACCC’s Community Oncology Research Institute (ACORI). “We
look forward to continuing our work together to realize the full
impact and value our partnership can bring to improve the
experience of every person with cancer.”
With over 50 years’ experience, ACCC is a leader in the cancer
care community that brings together stakeholders to create
comprehensive solutions that positively impact the patient
experience and patient outcomes. ACCC provides education,
resources, and tools to the professional oncology community, and
serves alongside Flatiron as a member of CancerX, a public-private
partnership announced by The White House as a part of the Biden
Cancer Moonshot. As a long-time Flatiron partner, one of ACCC’s
aims is to introduce their practices to new technologies that can
mitigate workforce shortages, increase clinical trial capabilities,
reduce health disparities, and improve care.
Flatiron Clinical Pipe, an EHR-to-EDC tool, captures and
transfers clinical study structured and unstructured data quickly
and with accuracy. In a recent pilot study with a leading
pharmaceutical company, Flatiron Clinical Pipe users saw an average
of one hour of time savings per patient visit on laboratory data
alone1. With access to Flatiron Clinical Pipe, ACCC practitioners
and member practices will be able to improve efficiency and reduce
time and effort of study data capture, enabling centers to conduct
more clinical studies and offer paths to redirect resources to
patient care.
“This partnership with ACCC has myriad benefits, with one of the
most important being the ability to reduce research staff
workloads,” said Ivy Altomare, MD, Head of Research Oncology,
Clinical Research, Flatiron Health. “By putting Flatiron Clinical
Pipe in the hands of more community cancer care centers, Flatiron
and ACCC will enhance ongoing efforts to expand the footprint of
cancer research in the community, broadening access to and
representativeness of cancer clinical trials.”
