Outcomes Trial

Ground breaking approach to cancer
data collection…
• A world first project involving the collection
of clinical cancer data across the entire
Barwon South West region
• A partnership between the Victorian
Department of Health, Barwon South
Western Regional Integrated Cancer
Service* and The Cancer Council Victoria
Evaluation of Cancer
Outcomes Trial
*The Integrated Cancer Services are funded by the Victorian
Government as part of Victoria's cancer reforms
Project Objectives
Trial a model of cancer data collection
across a regional area of Victoria
• Capture a nationally developed and agreed set
of data items
• Provision for statistical analysis and reporting
• Clinical Treatment
• Patient Outcomes
• Recurrence
• Population view of the occurrence of cancer in
the area
• Support current incidence and surveillance data
produced by the Victorian Cancer Registry (VCR)
Evaluation of Cancer
Outcomes Trial
Why this region for a world first
project?
• 33,000 Sq kms
• Pop – 340,000
• Approx. 230,000 live in Barwon Sub Region
• Approx. 1900 patients - diagnosed with
per annum
Evaluation of Cancer
Outcomes Trial
cancer
• Approx. 4000 patients - active prevalence
• 9 sites provide cancer treatment
The impact of cancer on our
community
‘When news broke in May (2006) that a
number of RMIT staff members had
been diagnosed with brain tumours,
questions were raised about a
possible ‘cancer cluster’.’
‘The details of the cancers showed it
wasn’t really a brain cancer cluster
after all’ (Registry Statistician and
Information Manager Vicky
Thursfield).
‘A similar process was used in April
(2006) to try to test the idea that
fluoridated water causes cancer.’
Evaluation of Cancer
Outcomes Trial
Figures going back to 1982 were used
to test the theory... ‘Rates in
metropolitan Melbourne, an area
that has had fluoridated water for a
long time, were actually lower than
the rest of Victoria’ (Ms Thursfield).
From "Cancer News" issue 193, July 2006
“It can’t be that difficult to collect, can
it?”
Two contrasting viewpoints…
• Surely we already have cancer staging
information, as it’s so simple and routine
to collect
• Collecting information on cancer stage,
especially TNM* detail may be a greater
challenge than the human genome
project

The technical stuff…
Data repositories are currently being built at
each site to allow for monthly transfer of ECO
data to the Victorian Cancer Registry

Innovation benefits everyone!
• Patients and Community
• Improved quality of care
• Better Outcomes
• Healthcare Professionals
• Increased data quality
• Better access through comprehensive
data repositories
Evaluation of Cancer
Outcomes Trial
What have we learnt so far…
• 8 regional/rural sites = IT headache!
• More than just a Sunday drive…
• Who are you, What are you doing again?
• Can patients/health services opt out?
• A fractured approach to the patient
journey
Evaluation of Cancer
Outcomes Trial
Where to from here…

What may seem impossible today, may be
the norm tomorrow
