Clarity in cancer care delivery

The insights hidden within your data can be uncovered
to illuminate a path to better cancer care

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.

So you want to train an oncology LLM: Start by getting close to the data

To create targeted LLMs that are suitable for diving into health-related areas like oncology, we must choose our data carefully and get as close to the original source as possible to avoid “playing telephone” with inaccurate information that could affect drug development processes or cancer outcomes.

COTA Wins Google Cloud Customer of the Year Award for using AI to Improve Cancer Care

A panel of senior Google Cloud executives selected COTA from a pool of entries to win *2* Google Cloud Customer Awards. These awards showcase companies from around the world who are using Google Cloud technologies to improve their operations, and their social and governance efforts.

COTA Joins Aetion CARE Initiative

In this episode of Real World Talk, host Sandy Leonard sits down with Ulka Campbell, Head of Scientific Strategy at Aetion, and CK Wang, Chief Medical Officer at COTA. They dive into the Aetion CARE program, a cross-industry initiative aimed at understanding real-world data’s role in evaluating oncology therapeutics.

"In my opinion, COTA now has what is the single best analytic tool in the market for monitoring practice patterns and quality in oncology."

"Working with COTA has enabled us to have clear and accurate access to understanding patterns of patient care faster than we've ever had."

“Proving your value as a provider is a matter of wedding your outcomes and costs. Through our work with COTA, we're closer to being able to do this than we ever have been before."

"The goal is to standardize care. Standardization is essential to patient safety and the control of costs. COTA's unique capabilities and partnership model enable us, for the first time, to monitor this standardization efficiently."

Getting Focused

How do we derive value from disorganized data?

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.

What is unique about COTA's data curation approach?

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.

How is the organized data delivered?

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.

How can real-world data help reduce variation and improve care and quality outcomes?

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.

What is the COTA CNA?

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.
