Article Synopsis
- Consumer involvement in healthcare, particularly for cancer services, is seen as crucial for enhancing care quality and patient focus, but there's limited understanding of how this works in practice.
- Six cancer consumer representatives were interviewed to gather insights on their experiences, motivations, and contributions to service improvement.
- Key themes emerged regarding personal motivations for involvement, practical contributions to system improvements, and recommendations for broader consumer representation to ensure diverse perspectives shape healthcare decisions.
Aims: To identify and understand the different approaches to local consensus discussions that have been used to implement perioperative pathways for common elective surgeries.
Design: Systematic review.
Data Sources: Five databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library) were searched electronically for literature published between 1 January 2000 and 6 April 2023.
Background: Information regarding hospital service use by people newly diagnosed with cancer can inform patterns of healthcare utilisation and resource demands. This study aims to identify characteristics of group-based trajectories of hospital service use three years after an individual was diagnosed with cancer; and determine factors predictive of trajectory group membership.
Method: A group-based trajectory analysis of hospital service use of people aged ≥30 years who had a new diagnosis of cancer during 2018 in New South Wales, Australia was conducted.
Objectives: This study explored potential quality measures to improve skin cancer management in primary care settings, and the barriers and facilitators associated with their implementation.
Design: Semistructured interviews and qualitative proforma surveys were conducted with skin cancer experts from a range of healthcare settings. Framework analysis was employed to identify key groups of quality measures within the domains of the Donabedian model of healthcare quality (structure, process, outcome).
