What Are Some Common Performance Standards in Cancer Care?
Performance standards can vary depending on the type of cancer but generally include metrics such as: - Survival rates: The proportion of patients who survive for a specific period after diagnosis. - Response rates: The percentage of patients whose cancer shrinks or disappears after treatment. - Treatment adherence: The degree to which patients follow prescribed treatment plans. - Patient satisfaction: Measures of how patients perceive the quality of their care. - Quality of life: Assessments of the overall well-being of patients during and after treatment.
