Dr Liane Ioannou, Monash University, anztcr@monash.edu
The purpose of the ANZTCR is to develop a population-based thyroid cancer clinical quality registry to monitor and improve the quality of care provided to individuals diagnosed with thyroid cancer in Australia and New Zealand.
The aim of the ANZTCR is to optimise clinical care by capturing clinical data for all newly diagnosed thyroid cancer patients.
The population includes patients aged ≥ 16 years that have been newly diagnosed, assessed or treated for thyroid cancer at a participating site within the timeframe for inclusion. The ANZTCR uses an opt-out approach to minimise selection bias and to achieve near 100% coverage of the eligible population.
To benchmark clinical care, a consensus set of clinical quality indicators were developed using a modified-Delphi approach (MUHREC #11117). A minimum dataset has been developed to measures outcomes regarding key diagnostic, pathological, clinical, treatment, complications and outcomes from diagnosis to 90-days post-thyroid cancer diagnosis as well as recurrence (if applicable).
