As a result of the rapid acceleration in new treatment advances in thoracic oncology, coordination and tailored selection of treatment modalities has become complex. This increasing complexity mandates multidisciplinary input and coordinated management. However, quality of care in the domain of multidisciplinary thoracic oncology has yet to be purposefully defined, and as a result the science of performance measurement has yet to be applied to this area. In this review we discuss the role of multi-disciplinary care in thoracic oncology, and outline its definitions as proposed in the literature. We review various metrics of quality in complex multidisciplinary thoracic oncology care, and future directions for quality and performance measurement.
由于胸科肿瘤学新治疗进展的迅速加速，治疗方式的协调和个性化选择变得复杂。这种日益增加的复杂性要求多学科参与和协调管理。然而，多学科胸科肿瘤学领域的医疗质量尚未得到明确界定，因此绩效评估科学尚未应用于该领域。在本综述中，我们讨论了多学科护理在胸科肿瘤学中的作用，并概述了文献中提出的其定义。我们回顾了复杂的多学科胸科肿瘤学护理中的各种质量指标，以及质量和绩效评估的未来方向。
