A New Vision for Integrated Breast Care.
Abstract
During the third year of "A New Vision for Integrated Breast Care", we have launched many of the programs designed during the first two years: We have successfully launched our same-day assessment, and follow-up programs, which have streamlined care, made our clinic more efficient, and deliver better services to our patients. We will evaluate our same-day assessment program using the same tools that we are using to assess abnormal mammograms in Project 1. In Project 4, we have added to our tool set, so that it consists of consultation planning and consultation recording. This type of tool will be merged with Project 3, which will be producing tailored Kaplan-Meier plots to - describe the benefits of adjuvant chemotherapy. Forms and data content has been organized, and we are basing the data elements on national standards (where they exist) or developing them with other groups. We have successfully integrated clinical trials into every stage of care. Educational packages are available for most types of Patients we see at the clinic. In the near future, our redesigned website will include all of the educational material, as well as on-line scheduling and communication. Staff and patient-satisfaction is at an all time high
