By: Nadhirah Lutchmninarain

Overview
This proposal will allow us to analyze the trends of cancer in different age groups, treatments that have been administered and there
effectiveness and what is there treatment and recovery process experience is like at the facility. There is a variety of information that
will be collected, patients age, type of cancer, type of medication prescribed or recommended surgry, duration of treatment, post
treatment results. All of this information will give us a clearly view on making the experience of the patient as comfortable as possible.
It could also suggest which treatments worked best, if it is possible to avoid surgry or not, this will better inform our patient and give
them better outlook on their options.
Key Study Components
In this section bullet point the most important data you plan to collect for each of the subheadings in your proposal:
 Data Collection Plan- Data will be collected randomly, this way we cover variety of demographics, age groups, gender and
ethnic groups. Data will be collected from our data base where all information such age medical history and personal
information of patients are captured. Names of patients will not be used.
 Data Security Plan- Data security is extremely important, only a select group of people will be assigned access to patient
data, this will allow us to be accountable for any security breches. No data will be allowed to leave the site of the project, by
using a secure data capturing system like REDcap, which is a secure electronice data capturing solution, we are able to be
accountable for data collected, by viewing activities done on the application.
 Benchmarking Plan- We will meet the HIE standards by ensuring that all data is cross checked using APIs, this will also help
us populate any information of the patient that is messing. It is important to have clean and complete data to create a
accurate outcome.
 Quality and Change Management Strategies- Training, workshops, and resources on any new policies and procedures will
be provided to staff to ensure change expectations are managed accordingly. Quality of data will be monitored by the
application making sure that all data field are complete, this will improve HIE in the future.

Conclusion
The goal of this project is to improve our overall patient care for cancer patients. By analyzing these different data sets we can
determine which areas can be improved, weather additional assistance is needed or a better review on the treatments provided to
patients. We can investigate which treatment is best for different age groups and what we can do to improve patients follow ups after
treatment. Finfing gaps is important for the orginizations improvement.
