Stud Health Technol Inform. 2022 Jun 6:290:804-808. doi: 10.3233/SHTI220190.

Abstract

This paper offers a case study to demonstrate how a complex scoring model tool called CNS-TAP, originally created by a neuro-oncology team at one institution, was upgraded and made accessible to a wider audience. In the Results and Discussion, many issues of web app design, development, and sustainability are covered. Overall, we chart a path to expand access to many unique software tools created and needed by today's medical specialists.

Keywords: Clinical Decision Support Systems; Drug Therapy; Medical Oncology.
