TeamTreat - a communication platform for concerted cancer treatment

TeamTreat is an internet platform providing a case record for cancer patients across and inside the primary and secondary health care sector. Due to the slow progress of cross-institutional integration in healthcare IT, we created an alternative low-level approach to this problem and put special emphasis on an easy access for healthcare professionals regardless of the specific IT infrastructure they use. Physicians use the platform to share and collect information to achieve a collaborative treatment of cancer. Furthermore, the data in the case record is searchable for clinical researchers to find suitable patients for inclusion in clinical trials. Reading access for patients is also possible.
