ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study assessed the impact of the navify Tumor Board digital tool on multidisciplinary team tumor boards' (MDTs) efficiency, comparing its streamlined workflow and preparation to conventional, time-consuming methods.

Methods

This prospective observational study (January-June 2021) compared MDT phase durations (preparation, discussion, follow-up) using the navify Tumor Board platform versus conventional methods for integrated patient data management and decision-making.

Results

The navify Tumor Board significantly improved MDT efficiency across all phases compared to conventional methods. In the preparation phase, it reduced the time needed for cancer staging imaging checks and sending meeting materials by 8.62% (p < 0.001). During the discussion pha
