2. SCR Overview 2 Releases a year – Audit and User Led
New Product Development process
Rolling 5 Year Plan
Projects – Interoperability, Site Redesigns
Design Groups – Get Involved!
National Mandatory Audits
Audits are in our Service Level Agreement
R1 = audits, R2 = user led changes
Interoperability: saving time/duplication/re-keying
New Product Dev process – big ideas focussed on areas of the system e.g. Patient Event Diary, Acute Oncology module, redesign of individual Tumour Sites – CWT and COSD remain as core items, with site specific fields catered for.
5-10 year rolling plan will incorporate these projects and Product Development ideas
Design Groups – we want to involve users of SCR in the requirements gathering activities to ensure we develop SCR in a way that will really benefit the wider user community – we’d like commitment from anyone contributing Product Development ideas to join a Working Group and also do some User Acceptance Testing to make sure the design works in the most common ‘real life’ situations.

3. CUP Referral – Release

4. Release 1 2016 Acute Oncology Referral CWT XML and 2 x new data items
ICD10 5th Edition
HANA (Head & Neck)
NLCA (& LUCADA changes)
NBCA (Bowel) and NOGCA
HANA = Head & Neck Audit
NLCA = National Lung Cancer Audit
NBCA = National Bowel Cancer Audit

5. Projects 2016 Interfacing (data transfer)
eTertiary – Investigations and Treatments
Event Diary
File Attachments
Palliative Care Redesign
Batch Processing Audits
SNOMed CT
Acute Oncology Referral – will capture some of the AO Minimum Dataset
eTertiary – planning on sending all of the info captured in the Investigation and Treatment tables for each Tumour Site
Event Diary – using the Root Cause Analysis Proforma as a basis, but making it available from the start of a Referral being added and making it a lot more graphical
File Attachments – ability to upload documents to a Cancer Referral e.g. the Macmillan Care Plan, scanned copy of the UKONS Triage log sheet, Image investigation notes,
Redesigns – Paeds is scheduled for R – but MDT and CNS are not allocated yet – so R – that gives us a year to gather reqs.
Batch processing – will automate the Check Report and the creation of the Audit files
SNOMed CT – introduce Lung procedure descriptions first and then a site at a time

6. Priorities Interfacing (data transfer) – what are your priorities?:
Surgeon level reporting data
Investigations
Radiotherapy
SACT
Pathology
What priority would you like to see us introduce the Interfacing options in? We will start with Referrals as we have already made good progress in this area and then would look at introducing an interface with Surgery data – this is because it is most commonly already in the PAS for PBR. So, we’re looking for your preferred priority for Investigations (Imaging), SACT, Radiotherapy, Pathology. We’d need to do a mapping exercise to identify which are the main fields you would like to see populated by an interface into SCR. We’ll be asking for people to join the Design Group in the next couple of months, so expect an from us about that.
Tumour Site Redesign. We are aware that users would like to capture more detailed information on particular body sites, e.g. for Upper GI there are the obvious HPB and OG body sites, for Urology there are the Bladder, Kidney and Testicular body sites. What others would you like us to consider?
What we’d like to do is to start redesigning sites to collect body site specific data – however to do this we’d initially need a high level of input from clinicians with expertise in that particular body site. If you know of clinicians in your organisations who would be interested in getting involved, please let us know – this will be the driving factor in us determining which Tumour Sites get redesigned first.
