The Continuous Improvement in Care – Cancer (CIC Cancer) Project is a program of research that considers what is important to people diagnosed with cancer in order to directly improve their lives. This collaborative research involves universities, health services, and consumers.
The aim of the CIC Cancer project is to improve cancer care by measuring the outcomes that matter to patients with lung, colorectal, breast, and ovarian cancer and identify innovative and cost efficient activities and research needed to improve care.
The project will contribute to implementation of value based healthcare (VBHC); the goal of which is to improve patient health outcomes while reducing the overall cost of healthcare.
