In two landmark reports on Quality and Information Technology, the Institute of Medicine described a 21st century healthcare delivery system that would improve the quality of care while reducing its costs. To achieve the improvements envisioned in these reports, it is necessary to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the clinical decision support that is delivered to clinicians through electronic health records at the point of care.*

This 21st Century healthcare delivery system  started in Utah at  Intermountain In the 1960’s!

Clarence Wonnacott attracted Homer Warner to LDS Hospital to create a cardiac catheterization laboratory and ultimately, the HELP system was bornBrent Goates attracted Henry Plenk to LDS Hospital and Radiation Oncology was solidified in UtahStanley Altman, persuaded Charles Smart to come to LDS Hospital  and Cancer Surgery was addedDon Nelson and the medical staff established an ongoing foundation to support medical research

HELP System is Developed

Beginning with cardiac catherization data, Warner and colleagues built a decision support system that underpins every clinical program.

Institutional support was consistent and foundational

Healthcare workers embraced the technology and made the changes in process to allow it to flourish at the bedside

Page 7: History of Oncology Research at Intermountain Healthcare ... of...History of Oncology Research at Intermountain Healthcare Elizabeth Hale Hammond, MD, FACP ... *Jones et al. BMC Medical

Henry Plenk was recruited to LDS Hospital in the 1960’s and quickly established a cancer treatment program and residencyIn 1968, he joined the newly established Radiation Therapy Oncology Group LDS Hospital became an important player in these trials 

Radiation Oncology comes to Utah

Charles Smart becomes first cancer surgeon in the state working in the Intermountain Regional Medical ProgramThru IRMP, the tumor registry was computerized in 1973 and cancer became a reportable disease in Utah

Using tumor registry data, cancer care could be better followed and improved.

What cancers are prominent in Utah?What is the death rate from those cancers?How can care be improved?

Oncology Defined in 1970’s

An early adopter of computerized technology, Smart promoted its useHe advocated and promoted research involving the tumor registry data and was its strongest supporter to keep cancer reporting unified throughout the state

Charles Smart used Data to Improve Oncology

LDS Hospital became key player in Cancer Care in 1980‐1990’s

Physicians and staff at LDS Hospital were supportive of clinical trials and made significant contributions to  RTOG/COG group studies

Early studies in hyperthermia, intraoperative radiation therapy, and childhood cancer radiation evaluated utility and defined best uses

Physicians at Intermountain became key cancer players in RTOG/COG in 1980s 1990s and expanded clinical care in Intermountain

William Sause and John Thomson were key playersElizabeth Hammond led pathology studies and tissue banking Michael Collins and Dirk Noyes played leadership roles in surgeryWilliam Rees, Regina Rosenthal, Bret Parkinson  refined breast cancer services
