Abstract
Like the rest of health care, cancer research is a highly fragmented enterprise with complex paper-based processes that are inefficient, error prone, and often redundant. Few standards exist for these processes or the data they generate. These shortcomings have a negative impact on the cost, timeframe, and quality of clinical trials. They also impede collaborative research and slow the dissemination of research results into clinical practice.
