The Organisation of European Cancer Institutes (OECI) launched a program for accreditation and designation (A&D) of cancer centers in Europe based on voluntary participation in 2008. In 2012, the Italian Ministry of Health decided to fund cancer centers in Italy, members of the Alleanza Contro il Cancro (ACC), to go through the OECI accreditation program. Ten centers participated in the program and 10 completed the full cycle of the OECI A&D process in consecutive series over a 2-year period. The process was successfully completed within the planned timeline and the overall findings were presented to the Italian Ministry of Health and representatives of all the participating centers in November 2015. The program had a considerable team-building effect, which will likely continue as the improvement plans are implemented. Centers fed back to OECI that the A&D program had led to better formal organization of multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) and cancer care pathways, and had helped them to harmonize the integration of research into clinical practice. Centers also concluded that they benefited from recognition through an international accreditation system, and that it had led to them developing better patient information and involvement. The importance of the improvement plans that each center had to produce following the audit reviews cannot be underestimated. The OECI concludes that implementation of the A&D program at the national level is feasible despite national peculiarities related to health planning and organization in each member state. This is a good example of an EU project working well, with member states helping each other and learning from best practice, to improve the overall quality of cancer care and research and to establish consistency. The initial accreditation is the first part of an ongoing process of improving comprehensive cancer care, integrating bench to bedside.
欧洲癌症研究所组织（OECI）于2008年发起了一项基于自愿参与的欧洲癌症中心认证与指定（A&D）计划。2012年，意大利卫生部决定资助意大利癌症中心联盟（ACC）的成员中心参加OECI认证计划。10个中心参与了该计划，其中10个中心在2年时间内连续完成了OECI A&D流程的全周期。该流程在计划时间内成功完成，总体结果于2015年11月提交给了意大利卫生部以及所有参与中心的代表。该计划产生了相当大的团队建设效果，随着改进计划的实施，这种效果可能会持续下去。各中心反馈给OECI称，A&D计划促使多学科团队（MDT）和癌症护理路径的正式组织得到了改善，并帮助他们协调了研究与临床实践的整合。各中心还得出结论，他们从国际认证体系的认可中受益，这促使他们更好地提供患者信息并让患者参与进来。每个中心在审核评估后必须制定的改进计划的重要性不可低估。OECI得出结论，尽管每个成员国在卫生规划和组织方面存在国家特色，但在国家层面实施A&D计划是可行的。这是一个欧盟项目运作良好的典范，成员国相互帮助并借鉴最佳实践，以提高癌症护理和研究的整体质量并建立一致性。初始认证是持续改进综合癌症护理（从实验室到病床旁）过程的第一部分。
