Development of a cancer care database and interpretation of its contents will provide extensive information about a set of patients with a particular disease. By defining disease by stage, its associated costs of diagnosis, treatment and long term follow-up, patient outcomes and self-reported satisfaction and quality of life, a foundation for disease management evolves. Utilizing documented experience over the continuum of cancer care provides a stronger foundation for standards of care and critical pathway development as well as enhancing risk sharing capabilities in providing care for a set of cancer patients. Extensive data collection and analysis has been identified as the key to successful disease management. With the Columbia/HCA Cancer Care Database and future strategic initiatives, the development of an oncology disease management approach is aggressively moving forward.
建立一个癌症护理数据库并对其内容进行解读,将提供有关一组特定疾病患者的广泛信息。通过按阶段定义疾病、其相关的诊断、治疗和长期随访成本、患者预后以及自我报告的满意度和生活质量,疾病管理的基础得以形成。利用癌症护理全过程中的记录经验,可为护理标准和关键路径的制定提供更坚实的基础,同时增强为一组癌症患者提供护理时的风险分担能力。广泛的数据收集和分析已被确定为成功进行疾病管理的关键。借助哥伦比亚/HCA癌症护理数据库及未来的战略举措,肿瘤疾病管理方法的发展正在积极推进。
