A self-directed co-creation process for developing a care pathway for patients on oral anticancer therapy: A qualitative process evaluation.

Purpose: To provide in-depth insight in stakeholders' experiences with the self-directed co-creation of a care pathway for patients treated with oral anticancer drugs, and to identify influencing factors for the success of the co-creation process that are persistent throughout the prior pilot phase and the scale-up phase.

Methods: This qualitative process evaluation was performed in 11 Belgian oncology departments participating in a scale-up project. Semi-structured interviews with local coordinators (n = 13) and members of the project teams (n = 19), responsible for the co-creation of the care pathway, were conducted.
