Oesophageal Cancer
Improve the patient experience and their individual care whilst reducing the administrative inefficiencies for their CNS and associated clinical team.
The centralisation of care for oesophageal cancer patients improves outcomes but can make it harder for patients and healthcare staff. In fact, patients often suffer from a terrible patient experience (Cancer Patient Experience survey: CPES data) and from confusion over who is in charge of their care.
For Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNS) the monitoring of patients across different hospital sites is difficult: this leads to increased inefficiencies of care, administrative burdens and differences in treatment pathways.
