Patients moving between hospitals often carry paper folders or nothing. A standard electronic summary of diagnosis, treatments, and doses that any system can read would stop repeated tests and dangerous gaps.
Cancer care crosses institutions, regions, and countries, and treatment history is frequently lost or reconstructed from memory. A standard summary (diagnosis, stage, molecular results, regimens with cumulative doses, radiotherapy fields and doses, key toxicities, follow-up plan) in an interoperable format such as HL7 FHIR mCODE, generated automatically and held by the patient, would make continuity possible. The technical standards exist; the missing pieces are mandates and defaults.
