Ontario Hospitals Meet New Cancer Care Ontario Standard with

mTuitive’s xPert for Pathology™

Boston, MA—mTuitive is proud to announce that three of their customers have

received validation from Cancer Care Ontario for meeting the 2008-2009 CAP/CS
aligned data standards for pathology reporting. North York General Hospital,
Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Center and The Scarborough Hospital have
implemented mTuitive’s xPert for Pathology™ and, as a result, are successfully
transmitting discrete synoptic data to CCO’s cancer registry. Hospitals that are CCO-
validated are eligible for funding to offset the costs of implementing a CCO-certified
synoptic reporting solution like xPert for Pathology™.

This is a first of its kind initiative. CCO’s goal is to implement province-wide quality
standards for cancer-related pathology reporting, which would facilitate improved
patient outcomes and a better clinical quality of care. This is important because
pathology reports are generally widely disseminated to the clinical care team and the
information contained within these reports guides decisions around subsequent
treatment. Standardized pathology reporting increases the availability and
consistency of cancer pathology information that is essential for treatment decisions,
evaluation, and research.

mTuitive complies with the 2008-2009 CAP/CS aligned data standards developed by
Cancer Care Ontario in conjunction with the College of American Pathologists (CAP)
Cancer Committee, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American
Joint Committee on Cancer. The CAP checklists1 for breast, lung, colorectal, prostate
and endometrium were amended to include the mandatory pathological collaborative
staging elements.

xPert for Pathology interfaces with all available Laboratory Information Systems on
the market which lends itself to wide use throughout the province.
