Following the successful conclusion of the 31st Hellenic Congress of Clinical Oncology, we would like to extend our warmest thanks to everyone who visited us.

This year’s event in Athens, at the Athenaeum Intercontinental Hotel, was a fantastic opportunity for the oncoEHR team to connect with the heart of the oncology community. Your response, your keen interest in the platform’s new features, and the meaningful discussions we had at our booth have left us inspired and energized for what’s to come.

Every comment, idea, and piece of feedback you shared with us is invaluable and has already been placed at the core of our development roadmap for the next oncoEHR upgrades.

We extend our sincere thanks to the Hellenic Society of Medical Oncology (HeSMO) for the impeccable organization of such a significant scientific event.

Your support is our greatest reward. We look forward to seeing you at the next conference

February 4th, 2025, marks a milestone date for public health and oncology care in Greece. The National Cancer Registry was officially presented, a landmark initiative for the registration, monitoring, and research of cancer in the country.

The Registry, a long-standing request from both physicians and patients, is now in productive operation, heralding a new era in the recording, monitoring, and analysis of cancer data in Greece. Its implementation will enable the holistic monitoring of patient journeys, the extraction of valuable insights for research, and the design of more effective health policies.

The creation of such a crucial registry underscores the need for structured, high-quality, and reliable clinical data. As a specialized electronic health record (EHR) system for oncology, oncoEHR is designed to meet this exact challenge.

We empower healthcare professionals to accurately and easily record essential data, ensuring compatibility and interoperability with national platforms like the new Registry.

The Registry was presented by Dr. Konstantinos Kostikas, with a prologue by the Minister of Health. You can watch the full presentation from the event, broadcast by the Hellenic Cancer Federation (ELL.O.K.), at the link below:

We are closely monitoring these developments and remain dedicated to providing technological solutions that enhance the quality of oncology care and support critical national initiatives.

We are excited to announce the full integration of oncoEHR with the national e-Prescription system (HDІKA). Understanding the value of your time, we have built a bridge that automates procedures, minimizes errors, and provides a complete patient overview at the click of a button.

The new functionality allows you to:

• Automatically retrieve all prescriptions: View detailed or aggregated data for all prescriptions you have issued for your patients directly within the oncoEHR environment.

• Create all your patient records with a single click: When the system detects a prescription for a patient not yet registered in oncoEHR, it prompts you to create their record automatically by pulling their data directly from the national system.

• Populate demographics without typing: When creating a new patient file, simply enter their national insurance number (AMKA) and select “Retrieve from HDІKA”. All essential demographic data is filled in automatically and accurately.

• Analyze data: Gain valuable insights through diagrammatic displays of the active substances and formulations you prescribe most frequently.

The security of your data is our priority: Your personal HDІKA credentials are encrypted and stored exclusively on your local device. They are never transferred to the oncoEHR database, ensuring absolute privacy and protection.

Our goal is to continuously evolve oncoEHR, providing smart tools that free you from time-consuming administrative tasks and allow you to focus on what matters most: your patient care.

The oncoEHR team has successfully concluded its participation in the 7th Hellenic Oncology Conference, held in Thessaloniki at the Macedonia Palace Hotel from April 24-27.

Our presence at this premier scientific event, organized by the Hellenic Society of Medical Oncology (HeSMO) and the Hellenic Society for Radiation Oncology (HSRO), provided us with an invaluable opportunity to connect with the heart of the oncology community. Our discussions with you about daily clinical practice and the use of oncoEHR were incredibly insightful.

The conference theme, “Human touch in the digital era,” perfectly mirrors our philosophy: creating technological tools that empower physicians, automate processes, and allow them to dedicate more time to their patients.[1]

We extend our warmest thanks to all of you who visited us, shared your thoughts, and provided us with valuable feedback. Your ideas are our guide for the future of oncoEHR.

A big thank you also to the organizers for a flawless and engaging conference. We look forward to seeing you at the next one

So here’s a few things about oncoEHR:

What is oncoEHR?
oncoEHR is an Intelligent Oncology Management Software. It is an innovative, integrated software for the input and utilization of medical information of oncology patients and the management of their treatments. It is a basic tool for the daily work of a large percentage of Greek oncologists and pathologists, helping them to carry out their work with speed, accuracy and safety, i.e. the treatment of cancer, the care of oncological patients and the facilitation of their scientific work.

Fully Web-Based and Secure: Incorporating AI technologies and including extensive general-medical and oncological functionality, oncoEHR is a fully web-based, completely secure web application for use from HY, tablet or mobile, particularly friendly to the healthcare professional. Hosted on the Amazon AWS HIPPAA compliant infrastructure, oncoEHR operates as a 100% web based Cloud native platform.

User-Friendly Interface: The software prides itself on being user-friendly, which is crucial in a healthcare setting where ease of use can significantly impact efficiency and patient care. Healthcare professionals need intuitive tools that are easy to navigate.

Specialized in Oncology: oncoEHR is the only software of its kind in Greece, exclusively designed to meet the unique needs of oncologists. It incorporates the Therapeutic Protocols of the Greek Association of Oncologists and Pathologists (EOPE), lending essential support to Greek oncologists in their daily tasks. This includes tasks like cancer treatment, patient care, and facilitating their scientific research.

Innovative Oncology Integration: OncoEHR excels in deep integration of tools and knowledge specific to oncology, offering features like:

• Cancer classification and staging. OncoEHR allows automated cancer staging through specialized questionnaires for most cancer types. All relevant ontologies are supported (AJCC-TNM, ICD-10, ICD-O), where possible via corresponding APIs (e.g. AJCC API v2).
• Oncology-specific subsystems for standardized monitoring of tumor progress (CR, PR, SD, PD), adverse effects of anti-cancer therapies (CTCAE), molecular markers and biomarkers, etc.
• The innovative cancer treatment planning and management subsystem. Featuring a user-friendly, powerful editor, it can incorporate any treatment protocol, standardized (e.g. HESMO 8th edition, NCCN Guidelines) or proprietary.
• Integration of medical documents and imaging tests (DICOM)

Chemo/Immunotherapy Management: oncoEHR integrates a powerful and extremely user friendly Chemotherapy / Immunotherapy management subsystem (CIMS). CIMS follows an holistic approach in designing, scheduling, applying and monitoring chemotherapy / immunotherapy schemas on a patient through summary and analytic (daily) views and controls. The doctor can select a pre-existing schema, modify one or define one from scratch. Calculation of dosage is automated based on patient characteristics such as weight and body surface. Specific reports can be designed to monitor required medications on a patient / clinic basis for daily, weekly or monthly monitoring. Similar reports may be produced to assist in scheduling of patient treatment at clinic level

Protection of Patient’s Privacy: oncoEHR’s privacy in design feature assists doctors and health organizations adhere to the GDPR regulation. Features like encryption (for persisted and in-transit data), complete auditing of user activity, easy export of personal information in human-readable and machine-readable format are useful tools to ensure protection of patient privacy.

At OncoEHR, our commitment to addressing the specific requirements of oncology practices has led to the creation of an innovative application that enhances the quality of cancer care. Our aim is to promote a more targeted and effective approach, ultimately improving the care of cancer patients.
