Oncology Informatics: Using Health Information Technology to Improve Processes and Outcomes in Cancer Care encapsulates National Cancer Institute-collected evidence into a format that is optimally useful for hospital planners, physicians, researcher, and informaticians alike as they collectively strive to accelerate progress against cancer using informatics tools.

• Presents a pragmatic perspective for practitioners and allied health care professionals on how to implement Health I.T. solutions in a way that will minimize disruption while optimizing practice goals
• Proposes evidence-based guidelines for designers on how to create system interfaces that are easy to use, efficacious, and timesaving
• Offers insight for researchers into the ways in which informatics tools in oncology can be utilized to shorten the distance between discovery and practice

Researchers (cancer researchers, informatics researchers, health services researchers, organizational scientists, intervention scientists), physicians (oncology, internal medicine, obstetrics-gynecology, gastroenterology, dermatology), allied health care professions (nurses, navigators, laboratory services, radiologists, hospital administrators, behavioral medicine), designers (system support entrepreneurs, Health I.T. developers, and hospital practice designers)
