Documentation Gaps in Multidisciplinary Tumor Board Meetings

Tumor board documentation is inconsistent, impacting cancer patient care.

• Only 51.7% of cases had adequate documentation, significantly varying by cancer type (5.5% for breast vs. 97.0% for colorectal).
• Among documented cases, 44.7% of notes were unstructured, lacking important details like attendees’ specialties (29.3%) and clinical trial eligibility (15.8%).

Improving documentation standards could enhance the quality of multidisciplinary cancer care.

• 55.7% of notes noted if patients were informed of recommendations, primarily by phone (71.8%).
