Care quality in cancer treatment is measured using various metrics and indicators. Common measures include:
Survival Rates: The percentage of patients who survive for a specific period post-diagnosis, often five years, is a critical indicator of treatment effectiveness. Patient Satisfaction: Surveys and feedback mechanisms to gauge patients’ experiences and satisfaction with the care they received. Treatment Adherence: Monitoring whether patients complete their prescribed treatment regimens as recommended. Complication Rates: Tracking the incidence of treatment-related complications and adverse events. Access to Care: Evaluating the availability and timeliness of cancer care services, including screenings, diagnostics, and treatments.
