The types of tumors that are treated in each centre.
Number of new patients and number of patient reviews at the centre.
Average waiting time for the patient to open the file, to examine the doctor and receive treatment and the rate of rejection of cases at the centre.
• Evidence:
The National Clinical Guides Project, where 122 consultants were hired to produce 45 clinical guides on different tumors with a completion rate of 90% as follows:
National clinical manuals for oncology have been developed in the following disciplines:
Lung.
Gastrointestinal system
The urinary device.
Cervical.
Head and neck.
Boobs.
The reproductive device.
The lymph glands.
Non-lymphoma glands.
The sarcoma.
A national guide to philanthropy based on evidence has been completed.
Four workshops on national manuals for the treatment of breast tumours, lung tumours and care were held during 2018.
The guide has been updated for:
Cute care.
Breast tumours.
The lymph glands.
Lung tumors.
A national guide to philanthropy based on evidence has been completed.
Four workshops on national manuals for the treatment of breast tumours, lung tumours and care were held during 2018.
Workshops:
Six workshops were held in Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam for national guides:
1. Breast tumours treatment
2. Lung tumours
3. Spectacular care
Future projects:
1. Clinical tumours:
Clinical Pathways (Clinical Pathways) are scientific evidence-based treatment protocols to provide care for cancer patients with specific types and stages of illness. When properly designed and implemented, tumours can serve as an important tool in improving the quality of care and reducing costs and will be harmonized with the laws and methods of the health sector in Saudi Arabia. These tracks will be standardized for the private, public and non-profit sectors. The tracks will include the stages of prevention, early detection, diagnosis, treatment, follow-up and mitigation, and will be reviewed and presented to national committees and standardized, as well as presented to experts in evidence until they are approved by the Saudi Health Council.
Objectives of the project:
[Goal 1: Improve the quality of oncology service provided to oncologists]
[Goal 2: Standardization of oncology treatment methods]
Assessment of the economic feasibility of two projects of the National Integrated Programme for the Early Detection of Cancers:
Research on the economic viability of early detection projects in the Kingdom. The outputs of the project will help planners and decision makers to make optimal use of the resources allocated to these programmes and to channel them effectively.
Objectives of the project:
Examination of the current status of existing programmes.
Meeting with international specialists and drawing on their expertise in health economics.
Identification of criteria against which programme evaluation will be conducted.
Identification of projects to be evaluated.
3. Effective community partnership with the third sector (non-profit associations)
Through the activation of the annual meeting of charities and the exchange of experiences between them
4. Governance of oncological services through the adoption of national standards and policies through:
a.Development of the referral system for cancer patients in cooperation with my referral centre..
b. Building comprehensive national standards for the operation of oncology centres in different health sectors.
c.Control of the purchase of radiological devices.
5. Oncology Training Centre
Establishment of a training centre for specialized oncological programmes.
