Oncology Provider Solutions
COTA’s data curation service and oncology analytics solution help oncology practices and cancer centers make sense of fragmented and often incomplete EHR data. Our award winning Real World Analytics solution (RWA) helps clinicians and researchers answer complex questions and gain insight into their institution’s patient population, treatment patterns and disease outcomes to bring clarity to cancer care.
Unlock Real-World Data
Unlock the potential of your clinical data through our expert technology-enabled, disease specific, longitudinal patient record curation.
Highly Intuitive Analytics
Administrators gain direct access to clinically relevant metrics and reporting, eliminating the need for onsite technology support.
Compare Cohorts
View clinically similar patient cohorts side-by-side to understand differences in care and outcomes.
Analyze Outcomes
Understand real world outcomes within your patient population.
Identify Treatment Patterns
Gain insight into variations in care delivery. Understand the consistency of care among your physicians and across locations.
Track Key Metrics
Track widely accepted oncology care standards with the option to create custom metrics for your institution.
Real World Analytics by COTA
Advancing Research
COTA customers have unique access to our deeply curated and continually growing database of deidentified and contemporaneous patient data across 14 cancer types, with expansion to 5 additional cancer types by the end of the year. Our partners can leverage the individual datasets on an ad-hoc basis, and additionally explore broader access as a member of our newly-formed COTA Research Consortium — a cooperative network of NCI-designated Cancer Centers. As a member of the Research Consortium, centers will partner to develop research protocols to further advance the knowledge, understanding and use of RWD.

Enterprise Data Strategies for Life Sciences with Datavant’s Su Huang
In this episode of Real World Talk we welcome Su Huang, the Head of Data Strategy at Datavant. Su shares real-world experiences implementing enterprise data strategies and the efficiencies that can be gained when teams across an organization are involved in the process.
Getting Focused
Our approach makes sense of all the relevant aspects of the patient journey from your medical records – data in physician notes, pathology, radiology, surgical reports, genomic testing results and to develop a longitudinal patient record and comprehensive picture of care.
COTA maintains a highly sophisticated and multidisciplinary data curation approach. Our methodology was developed by oncologists with input from a team of informaticists, cancer outcomes researchers, and biostatisticians with the goal of unlocking data from both structured and unstructured sources. All of our data curation efforts occur on the COTA Abstraction Platform (CAP), which is an internally developed and proprietary platform that enables COTA to leverage technology as we scale our curation efforts. Data elements are standardized across sources and ontologies to create a single, structured dataset that covers the full longitudinal history of a patient’s clinical care. COTA’s extensive quality control and audit process ensures the data can be readily transformed into fit-for-purpose research grade datasets and occurs at every step in the curation process, from the point of data entry all the way through to data delivery. Additionally, our process includes inter-rater reliability scoring prior to abstraction as well as programmatic controls which detect clinical improbability at data ingestion. COTA can curate on-demand, longitudinal histories of your patient population to meet the full range of research and operational improvement interests at your center.
Our easy-to-use data visualization tools display your data in the clearest, most impactful way. Data is also available in a variety of file formats to suit your preferences for additional data analysis.
Our data lets you look deeply at performance and outcomes across your provider organization, so you can identify variation and take action to improve care quality and outcomes.
Our numerical classification system clusters patients with clinically similar disease characteristics, so that you gain a clearer, fuller picture, and uncover insights that could impact treatment decisions and outcomes.
Let’s work together to transform cancer care.
