Authors' objectives:
This report addressed the following study questions:
What are properties of high quality oncological care?
Which quality indicators for oncological care are available internationally? Which initiatives work on these?
What are important elements in indicator development for oncological care?
What are the practical challenges of implementing systems of quality measurement in cancer care?
Authors' recommendations:
Apart from the obviously required know-how for indicator development and the necessary establishment of an efficient electronic data collection infrastructure, knowledge about and experience with the development of clinical guidelines and patient pathways are crucial for establishing a quality system for cancer care. Data analysis and feed-back skills are required. In order to actually improve quality at the point of delivery of patient care, a sense of ownership for the quality improvement process needs to be fostered amongstakeholders.
