Incorporating Integrated Diagnostics into Precision Oncology Care: A Workshop

Completed

On March 6 and 7, 2023, the National Cancer Policy Forum, the Computer Science and Telecommunications Board, and the Board on Human-Systems Integration, will host a collaborative, public workshop that will examine the state of the science and the vision for integrated diagnostics in precision oncology care.

Description

A planning committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will plan and host a 1.5-day public workshop that will examine the state of the science and the vision for integrated diagnostics in precision oncology care. The workshop will feature invited presentations and panel discussions on topics that may include:

  • Current efforts to develop and implement integrated diagnostics to inform treatment decision making in cancer care.
  • Implications of integrated diagnostics for clinician training, care workflows, and organization of care teams.
  • Opportunities for evidence generation to inform validation, clinical utility, oversight, as well as coverage and reimbursement for integrated diagnostics.
  • Strategies for ongoing quality assurance, evaluation, and refinement of integrated cancer diagnostics based on new evidence.
  • Mechanisms to enable broad patient access to integrated diagnostics, particularly in community-based settings of cancer care.

The planning committee will develop the agenda for the workshop sessions, select and invite speakers and discussants, and moderate the discussions. A proceedings of the presentations and discussions at the workshop will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.
