The purpose of this CodeX Use Case Project Dashboard is to provide status updates for the most significant, overarching tasks associated with each Use Case. This dashboard will act to facilitate discussions regarding Use Case progress and performance for key tasks. CodeX Use Cases projects are in one of 3 stages:
CodeX Use Cases projects are in one of 3 stages, transitioned according to the Use Case Development Guidelines:
- Use Cases are in the Discovery are ideas in the Backlog that have been proposed for future consideration, with a small group discussing, and aligning on a concept.
- Use Cases in Active Community Planning are, as the name implies, being planned with Members - Identifying necessary stakeholders, objectives, deliverables, measures of success and schedules for fast-moving phases.
- Use Case Projects in Active Community Execution are projects where models, mCODE-based FHIR IGs, implementations and pilots are currently under development, led by CodeX members.
Contact CodeX Program Management to learn more about any of the Use Cases below. Pre-Discovery and Archived Use Case Concepts can be found here. All are welcome to join the CodeX/mCODE Community of Practice to hear presentations on implementation work inside and outside of CodeX.

Software to enable existing EHRs and other systems to share cancer patient data conformant to the mCODE FHIR IG, to support a variety of use cases. | ON TRACK Implementing Extraction framework to support the ICAREdata project within the EHR Endpoints for Cancer Clinical Trials use case. | COMPLETE Extraction Framework published |
Prior Authorization in Oncology Facilitate sharing of mCODE-based clinical data between providers and payers to reduce burden and speed authorization or requests for more information. | ON TRACK Phase 1 - Use case is in the Execution Phase Members (eviCore/Evernorth, Varian, Mettle Solutions, ASTRO, MCG, ONS, Telligen, McKesson/Ontada) have confirmed prostate radiation oncology pilot. McKesson has identified clinical level practice management/workflow SMEs to engage in workflow evaluation, technical requirements and data. They are focusing on synthetic data and test system for with a prime focus on prostate at this time Bi-weekly technical team are progressing. Workflow has been completed. Identification of Data elements (demo graphics and clinical) has been completed (see below). COMPLETE Phase 1 - Test site system preparation by EHR/Varian and McKesson pilot sites COMPLETE FHIR server set up by Varian and CRD, DTR programming by eviCore IN PROGRESS Phase CRD, DTR and PAS IGs implementation IN PROGRESS Pilot Outcomes/Whitepaper COMPLETE Phase 1 - Identification and documentation creation Scenarios to be tested ON TRACK POC 3.0 Documentation found here - PA in Oncology - Documents | COMPLETE Develop an end-to-end proof of concept with full prior authorization in conformance with Da Vinci standards COMPLETE The proof of concept features the Da Vinci prior authorization information exchange with two synthetic cancer patients who have mCODE elements. The exchange shows extraction of mCODE from the EHR via a SMART-on-FHIR application. This data pre-populate the FHIR questionnaires used in interaction between provider and payer. COMPLETE Breast and Prostate use cases and champions identified. Request to move to planning phase completed.
