Dutch Lung Surgery Audit: A National Audit Comprising Lung and Thoracic Surgery Patients.

CONCLUSIONS: The audit provides reliable benchmarked information for caregivers and hospital management with potential to start local, regional or national improvement initiatives. Currently, the audit is further completed with data from non-surgical lung cancer patients including treatment data from pulmonary oncologists and radiation oncologists. This will ultimately provide a comprehensive overview of lung cancer treatment in The Netherlands. PMID: 29689237 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
