Dr. Jerome Coffey:

Radiation oncology has electronic linkages with the cancer registry because there has been a lot of investment into information systems in radiation oncology over the last couple of years. The software is primarily for scheduling and controlling machines and treatment departments but it has a dataset which can be linked. It is already established. It is hoped that the medical oncology equivalent, which has been procured and will be rolled out over the next couple of years to all 26 hospitals delivering chemotherapy, will serve the same function.
