Hospital ‐level compliance with the commission on cancer’s quality of care measures and the association with patient survival
ConclusionHospital ‐level compliance with the CoC’s Quality of Care Measures is not uniformly aligned with patient survival. In their current form, these measures do not reliably discriminate hospital performance and are limited as a tool for value‐based healthcare delivery.

Patient-Reported Care Coordination is Associated with Better Performance on Clinical Care Measures
ConclusionsWithin health plans, beneficiaries who report better care coordination also received higher-quality clinical care, particularly for care processes that entail organizing patient care activities and sharing information among different healthcare providers. These results extend prior research showing that health plans with better beneficiary-reported care coordination achieved higher HEDIS performance scores.

Efficacy of open dialogue about complementary and alternative medicine compared with standard care in improving quality of life in patients undergoing conventional oncology treatment (CAMONCO 2): protocol for a randomised controlled trial
Introduction Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has been shown to reduce symptoms and adverse effects and improve quality of life of patients undergoing conventional oncology treatment, but CAM might also cause symptoms and adverse effects such as headache and fatigue. Thus, patients need guidance towards safe and healthy use of CAM. According to published results, open dialogue about CAM (OD-CAM) between health professionals and patients as an integral part of anticancer treatment may improve patients’ quality of life and well-being. Since the literature on the issue is sparse, the aim of this study is to ...

Application of Care Bundles in Postanesthesia Recovery for Elderly Patients with Colorectal Cancer
CONCLUSION: After general anesthesia of patients with colorectal cancer, the application of the care bundles can improve the quality of recovery, shorten the intubation time and the length of stay in PACU, and reduce the complications caused by anesthesia.PMID:35774295 | PMC:PMC9239827 | DOI:10.1155/2022/7669889

Access to Care Among Adults with Limited English Proficiency
ConclusionsAdults with LEP had consistently worse access to care than adults without LEP. System-level interventions, such as expanding access to health insurance coverage, providing language services, improving provider training in cultural competence, and increasing diversity in the medical workforce may minimize barriers and improve equity in access to care.

Describing settings of care in the last 100  days of life for cancer decedents: a population‐based descriptive study
ConclusionsIn the last 100  days of life, cancer decedents spent most of their time in either institutions or at home without any care. Improving homecare services during the end-of-life may provide people dying of cancer with a preferred dying experience.

Chemotherapy Treatment Costs and Clinical Outcomes of Colon Cancer in the U.S. Military Health System's Direct and Private Sector Care Settings
CONCLUSIONS: The findings in the private sector may indicate low-value care in terms of the cost paid by the DoD for chemotherapy treatment and achieving desirable survival outcomes for patients with colon cancer in civilian health care. Comprehensive evaluations of value-based care among patients treated for other tumor types may be warranted.PMID:37167011 | DOI:10.1093/milmed/usad132

Outcome comparison following colorectal cancer surgery in an equal access system
Abstract: Background: Previous reports suggest outcome differences following surgery for colorectal cancer (CRC) based on specialist and volume-related metrics. We sought to compare community and tertiary centers in an equal access system.Materials and methods: Patients treated for CRC at Department of Defense medical facilities were stratified by care at tertiary (MEDCEN) versus community (MEDDAC) medical centers. Disease-free and overall survival outcomes were calculated, including Cox multivariate analysis.Results: A total of 6438 patients met inclusion criteria. Overall, 3347 operations were performed at MEDCENs and 30...

Development and validation of a family history screening questionnaire in Australian primary care.
CONCLUSIONS This simple family history screening questionnaire shows good performance for identifying primary care patients at increased disease risk because of their family history. It could be used in primary care as part of a systematic approach to tailored disease prevention. PMID: 24821895 [PubMed - in process]
