N2 - Background and Objective: Colorectal cancer (RC) is the third most common cancer, with an increasing incidence in recent years but also significant improvements in clinical outcomes. Modern treatment strategies are based on the close working of related disciplines within Multidisciplinary Tumour Boards (MTBs). This study has been aimed to implement a digital solution within the RC-MTB and analyse its impact in the context of the Fondazione Policlinico ‘A. Gemelli’ in Italy. Methods: A multidisciplinary working group was created for the platform customization according to the RC-MTB specific needs (definition of the data to be recorded and stored in the platform for each clinical case discussed) and its integration into the hospital IT system to allow the automatic import of patients’ data. Subsequently, the platform was validated through a pilot test and operatively launched. The platform impact analysis was carried out through a pre-post comparison of the RC-MTB. Descriptive and inferential analyses were performed, with a p-value < 0.05 being considered statistically significant. Results: The implementation of the platform allowed more healthcare professionals
