Carta Healthcare, a provider of enterprise clinical data management, announced Lighthouse for Oncology. Health systems can now apply Carta Healthcare’s Hybrid Intelligence approach to cancer registries, one of the most complex and labor-intensive areas of clinical data abstraction.

Lighthouse for Oncology surfaces answers to registry questions linked directly to their source in the patient chart, enabling ODS-certified cancer registrars to validate rather than manually search for data in the EHR.
