Work description

COCancerScope

Cancer Centers, including the University of Colorado Cancer Center, need to provide
updated and reliable information to make informed decisions about how best to
impact care in their catchment areas. The code herein captures the disparate information
available from public sources that can inform Community Outreach and Engagement (COE)
activities. The information can also help to generate hypotheses or produce valuable
infographics about health disparities, particularly those with geographic relationships.

Phase 1

• API development (OpenAPI)
  • Align endpoints with resources from below
• ETL from https://cancerinfocus.org/
• Feature parity with https://cancerinfocus.org/, but with Colorado focus

Phase 2

• Use case development with COE
• Authentication
• Incorporate Colorado Cancer Registry data (and other internal/private data)

Timeline

Ideally, phase I done by 3rd week of August.

Funding
