CICERO: an emergent conceptual model for onco-EPR systems.
Cancer care is one of the most complex, multi-disciplinary, and data-intensive undertakings in all of medicine, which makes it particularly well suited for the application of electronic patient record systems (EPRs) [1]. To assist with a programme of research to establish oncologists' perspectives on the requirements and benefits of EPR systems, a conceptual model for Comprehensive, Integrated, Customised Electronic Record systems for Oncology ("CICERO") is proposed. Preliminary data to refine the model were gathered using an online survey questionnaire and here we present high level emergent themes from initial analyses of the qualitative data.
