<h3>What is the mCODE Standard?</h3>
<p><%= link_to("mCODE","https://confluence.hl7.org/display/COD/mCODE") %> is an HL7 <strong><em>standard</em></strong> <%= link_to("FHIR Implementation Guide (IG)","https://hl7.org/fhir/us/mcode/index.html") %> integrating an agreed, core set of common data elements for cancer. These data elements are deemed valuable to patients and other stakeholders via multiple use cases, potentially available in every electronic health record for cancer patients, and machine computable. mCODE consists of approximately 30 FHIR profiles and roughly 100 data elements organized into six thematic groups (see below): Patient Information, Health Assessment, Genomics Group, Disease Characterization, Cancer Treatments, and Outcomes.</p>

<h3>What is the CodeX Community?</h3>
<p><%= link_to("CodeX","https://confluence.hl7.org/display/COD/CodeX+Home") %> is a member-driven HL7 FHIR Accelerator hosting a growing <strong><em>community</strong></em> working together to drive substantial improvements around the most important challenges facing specialty health care and research. Initial <%= link_to("CodeX Use Cases","https://confluence.hl7.org/display/COD/CodeX+Use+Cases") %> (projects) focused on improving, collecting, and sharing mCODE-based data in the oncology space. Through 2024, cardiovascular and genomics Communities have also started work within CodeX.</p>
<p>The following graphic summarizes a core CodeX strategy: Enabling all patient data to be collected once, and then shared and used (as consented by the patient) for many different use cases.</p>

<h3>History 2017-2018</h3>
<p><strong>Origin:</strong> The lucky spark was a chance encounter between former medical colleagues, Dr. Jay Schnitzer and Dr. Monica Bertagnolli, on an airplane in 2017. Bertagnolli was a preeminent cancer surgeon at Brigham and Women’s and was leading the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and Alliance for Cancer Trials in Oncology (ACTO). Dr. Schnitzer was Chief Medical Officer and Chief Technology Officer at MITRE, with a growing portfolio of health information technology research.</p>
<p>Drs. Bertagnolli and Schnitzer had been circling around how to achieve a Learning Health System, where caring for every patient enables learning from every patient. Every person with any disease should have access to high-quality care, and also will have the opportunity for their experience to help others in the future. </p>
<p>Drs. Bertagnolli and Schnitzer had also been circling around one of the fundamental challenges to achieving a Learning Health System: Lack of a single standard for collecting and sharing patient data electronically. They organized the first clinical requirements team convened under the auspices of ASCO. This team was co-chaired by Drs. Jim Chen and Doug Blaney, and staffed with world-class experts from across the oncology space. The team's mandate was to agree on first use cases (a narrow scope was important), and on a minimal set of clinical data to address use case requirements. This data dictionary later seeded a new standard for cancer data: the <%= link_to("minimal Common Oncology Data Elements","https://confluence.hl7.org/display/COD/mCODE") %>. </p>
