There is a need for information technology (IT) that integrates social and cancer care in a manner that reduces the burden on patients, clinicians, and organizations. Well-designed IT can assist the clinical team(s) to comprehensively address social risks in their cancer patient populations.

In this three-part mini-series, recipients of the NCI’s Small Business Innovation Research Program (SBIR) Topic 423 contracts will describe the development and evaluation of software to address social risks and needs in oncology practices, barriers and facilitators to the development and integration of IT, and lessons learned.
