ObjectivesTo investigate the impact on efficiency and quality of pre-prostatectomy multidisciplinary therapy conferences (MDT) at Karolinska University Hospital related to the use of a digital solution compared to standard of care. Further, to explore whether gains in MDT efficiency and quality impact oncological or functional patient outcomes.MethodsWe conducted a prospective, observational study of preoperative prostate-cancer MDT at Karolinska between February 2017 and March 2021. We compared efficiency and quality of the standard MDT and the MDT using the digital solution IntelliSpace Precision Medicine Multidisciplinary Team Orchestrator (ISPM) based on the previously used MDT-MODe approach. Clinical and patient-reported functional outcomes were derived from the medical records and the Swedish National Prostate Cancer Register (NPCR).ResultsWhile ISPM was used during the multidisciplinary therapy conference, the time spent per patient was reduced by 24 % (pDiscussion & ConclusionTo increase the value of the MDT, all data relevant for treatment decision need to be purposefully presented and compiled, which also enables secondary use of the data.The use of a digital solution during preoperative MDTs for prostate-cancer decision-making at Karolinska University Hospital improved the efficiency and quality of this multidisciplinary team meeting without impacting patient outcomes.What is already known?Multidisciplinary therapy conferences are widely used in modern cancer care.Patients discussed in a multidisciplinary therapy conference are more likely to receive appropriate staging and treatment.The multidisciplinary therapy conference is time consuming and rarely digitalized or adequately structured.What does this paper add?The use of a digital clinical decision support system during preoperative prostate-cancer multidisciplinary therapy conferences improved the efficiency and quality of the meetings.The introduction of this digital clinical decision support system was not associated with changes in oncological and functional outcomes after surgery. |
