Methods of Documentation I: Source-Oriented Records

Source-oriented records, or SOR, are medical record-keeping organized by the data source. The SOR system was first developed in the mid-1900s to organize the growing patient data in hospitals and other healthcare facilities.
In an SOR, each discipline involved in patient care maintains a separate medical record section. This record-keeping method enables easy tracking of patient progress and ensures healthcare staff have access to up-to-date information.
Key Attributes include the following:

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Health Informatics
  • Cancer Registry

Background:

  • Routine cancer care documentation is fragmented, hindering quality assurance, certification, registry reporting, and research.
  • Existing information technology (IT) infrastructure often presents challenges for efficient data capture and integration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish a single-source tumor documentation system at the Comprehensive Cancer Center Erlangen-Nürnberg (CCC-EN).
  • To derive essential data for cancer quality assurance, certification, registry documentation, and research directly from routine clinical care.
  • To develop and implement a transferable cancer documentation reference model.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of clinical documentation activities to identify essential data elements.
  • Development of a comprehensive cancer data superset encompassing all required elements.
  • Creation of tailored clinical documentation packages based on the data superset.
  • Adaptation of existing IT infrastructure to support the new documentation packages.
  • Implementation and evaluation of the single-source documentation system at CCC-EN.

Main Results:

  • Successful establishment of single-source tumor documentation at CCC-EN, integrating data from routine care.
  • Demonstrated feasibility of capturing cancer-relevant data within clinical encounters through defined documentation packages.
  • Development of a cancer documentation reference model facilitating data consistency and accessibility.
  • Examples of successful implementation showcasing the practical application of the model.

Conclusions:

  • Single-source tumor documentation effectively integrates data from routine care for multiple cancer-related objectives.
  • The developed cancer documentation reference model is adaptable and transferable to other healthcare institutions.
  • This approach enhances the efficiency and quality of cancer data management and utilization.
