What is OnCore?

OnCore is a suite of clinical and translational research modules consisting of software for research, patient registry and biospecimen management. It is a product of Forte Research Systems, based in Madison, WI. OnCore has been successfully implemented in 37 institutions, 23 of which are NCI designated Cancer Centers and 14 are multi-disciplinary institutions. More recently, Forte has worked with leading academic institutions such as the University of Wisconsin and University of California San Francisco to do enterprise-wide deployments of OnCore that extend beyond the Cancer Center.

OnCore's implementation will encompass system integration with Epic, with features such as the ability to capture patient demographics and lab results. Additionally, Yale, Forte and Epic are exploring more advanced integration designed to provide automation and increased efficiency for recruiting and referral and billing compliance.
