CancerX Data Sprint Extension
A national joint commitment to voluntarily adopt and support the standardized collection and exchange of USCDI+ cancer data elements
Aligning with The White House’s call to action regarding improving cancer care through better electronic health records (EHRs), CancerX is working closely with partners, members, and healthcare technology companies to adopt key cancer-related data elements to improve the usability and accessibility of cancer data to benefit patient care everywhere.
These key cancer-related data elements as defined under the “United States Core Data for Interoperability Plus Cancer” (USCDI+ Cancer), are being developed by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC), in close coordination with the National Institutes for Health (NIH), specifically the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS/CMMI), along with support and input from CancerX.
This effort will bring us one step closer to capturing and sharing the data necessary to give clinical researchers, doctors, and patients the right medical information they need at the right time to create scientific breakthroughs, effectively coordinate and deliver care, and improve the overall patient experience and outcomes.

The Impact
This work will ultimately improve patient outcomes and the research needed to support innovations by standardizing the collection of real-world data and driving toward greater interoperability across systems.
By bringing CancerX, government agencies, and industry together on this effort, we are accomplishing far more than any group can individually. This work will fuel the lifeline of cancer research and care – data! – to enhance the quality of care provided to cancer patients, optimize spending, and contribute to a unified vision of healthcare data excellence in oncology.
