From innovation to patient care: No bridge too far!
With pleasure we invite you for the symposium: From innovation to patient care: No bridge too far!
How do (technological) innovations change oncology care? How can these innovations be implemented to enhance the quality of care? The Netherlands Comprehensive Cancer Organization (IKNL) and the University of Twente are engaged to organize a symposium to give an impulse to the joint determination of the effect of these organizational and technological innovations on the quality of the oncological care. The target is to deliver well organized good quality care across the complete care pathway (care continuum), tailored to the need of the patient (personalized cancer care), which is cost-effective and based on a shared decision (shared decision making).
Key-players in the field of research and clinical practice will guide you through these different subjects. Professor Robert Mansel of the Cardiff University, England and former chair of the European Society of Breast cancer specialists (EUSOMA) will elaborate on the subject of Quality of oncology care. Professor Philip Poortmans, head of the radiotherapy department of the Marie Curie Institute in Paris and chairman of the European CanCer Organisation (ECCO) will elaborate on the subject innovation and organization.
The symposium will be in English.
The audience at the symposium will be closely involved and will be able to interact and give their associations on every presented subjects, resulting in word-clouds for every topic.
