Description

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is extending clinical pathways into automated, real-time nurse interventions for cancer treatment side effect management. Orchestrated pathways and CDS Hooks embedded in Epic support nurse navigation, enabling earlier, scalable symptom escalation and timely intervention within routine care workflows.

By operationalizing pathways at the point of care, Dana-Farber enables earlier, scalable symptom escalation and timely intervention while maintaining clinical oversight and governance. Attendees will gain practical insight into how standards-based orchestration can turn pathway intent into executable nursing actions that improve consistency and responsiveness in oncology care.
