Oncology

Oncology clinic software

Oncology is protocol-driven: cycles at fixed intervals, monitoring before each one, and several clinicians involved in the same patient. The coordination is the work.

Cycles, not appointments

A protocol is a defined sequence at defined intervals. Each cycle depends on the monitoring before it.

Appointments versus cycles

Oncology is a protocol with monitoring gates between its steps. A calendar can hold the dates but not the dependency, and the dependency is the safety.
