Improve Patient Outcomes with a Hybrid Model of Talent and Technology
Maintaining a complete, accurate, and timely cancer registry is essential to clinical excellence, accreditation, and improved health outcomes. However, as the volume and complexity of cancer data grow, healthcare organizations face critical workforce shortages, abstraction backlogs, and increasingly complex regulatory requirements.
Following the acquisition of ONCO Professional Services, Savista is now the largest employer of Oncology Data Specialists (ODS-Cs) in the United States. Our nationwide network of certified experts provides unparalleled registry abstraction, consulting, workflow optimization, compliance management, and end-to-end registry department operational oversight. This extensive human expertise is amplified by our AI-powered platform, which automates over 50 NAACCR fields, enables real-time casefinding, and performs NLP-driven abstraction through direct integration with hospital EHRs. This hybrid model pairs unmatched clinical knowledge with a powerful technology accelerator, ensuring accuracy, delivering superior data quality, relieving administrative burden and meeting reporting timeliness requirements more efficiently than ever before.
How We Do It
- Case-finding & Screening: AI-driven technology rapidly consumes and analyzes pathology, radiology, and EHR data, flagging probable reportable cases with over 95% accuracy.
- Clinical Data Abstraction: The platform's natural language processing (NLP) automatically populates over 50 standard NAACCR fields. Certified ODS-Cs validate complex cases and ensure compliance.
- Follow-up & Outcomes: Annual and lifetime follow-up for all living patients in the database, supporting treatment, research, and reporting requirements.
- Reporting & Accreditation Support: Full capabilities to provide timely reporting to local and federal registries and to support COC Accreditation.
Deploy our team to support a specific project (case backlogs, accreditation preparation) or to fully outsource your registry function. Our hybrid approach ensures greater accuracy, efficiency, and quality, empowering you to support patient survival, clinical research, and operational excellence.
