The Continuous Improvement in Care – Cancer (CIC Cancer) Project is a multi-institutional program of research that seeks to bring value-based healthcare (VBHC) to public and private healthcare settings in Western Australia (WA). The project aims to create value through improving outcomes whilst containing costs (www.ciccancer.com). This is achieved through measuring and acting on variations in outcomes that are important for people diagnosed with breast, colorectal, lung, prostate and ovarian cancer.
The results of combined clinical and patient-reported outcome measures will feed back into clinical management processes to improve care; help determine needs for clinical intervention and allow units to assess and improve their practices.
