Automates the monitoring and notification of new approvals, allowing teams to focus on other priorities 

TriaLinQ™

TriaLinQ provides patient-to-trial matching within the SmartLinQ solution.  TriaLinQ streamlines the screening, study eligibility confirmation, and enrollment processes. The solution supports investigator initiated and industry sponsored trials, automates manual tasks, enhances precision of individual patient eligibility reviews, and ensure diverse patient inclusion.

Benefits include:

A goal to increase the yield and matching of patients to trials, especially complex trials, based on automated data workflowsIncrease in patient treatment options by expanding access to clinical trialsMinimization of labor-intensive manual pre-screening tasks to identify eligible patients

ASCO Certification

In October 2023, ASCO announced ASCO Certified™, a new set of quality measures and tools that build on ASCO’s long-standing Quality Oncology Practice Initiative (QOPI®). CancerLinQ has provided automated solutions for QOPI Certification™ and now, under the ASCO-CancerLinQ agreement, will develop and deploy ASCO Certified solutions. ASCO Certified not only represents a comprehensive set of measures that incorporate the latest clinical treatment quality guidance, but it is also designed to enable patient-centered practice transformation that aligns with the oncology medical home standards co-developed by ASCO and the Community Oncology Alliance (COA) in 2021. In addition, for practices employing Elsevier ClinicalPath™, CancerLinQ and Elsevier have agreed to streamline the reporting and submission process, facilitating both quality measures and required pathways metrics.
