improve the practical support available to patients, their carers and families so that they can better navigate the complex cancer journey. Initiative 2 - Efficient and effective cancer services This initiative develops cancer service capability frameworks and effective health professional role delineation within networked services to maximise efficiencies and reduce unwarranted variations in cancer outcomes. This will be achieved by working with consumers, jurisdictions and peak health professional bodies to establish: the piloting of innovative use of the cancer workforce including service efficiencies, scope of practice, and new models of shared care for cancer treatment agreed capability frameworks for cancer services with defined linkages to primary care, regional cancer services and specialist tertiary teaching hospitals, and the promotion of safe, high quality cancer care by agreed role delineation for cancer services, specific tumours and sub-specialties to optimise outcomes. Initiative 3 - cancer treatment Implementing new research findings and best-practice treatment protocols substantially improves cancer outcomes. This initiative will support consistent, evidence-based care for all people affected by cancer. It will promote: better use of multidisciplinary initial assessment and treatment planning cancer teams across both the public and private sector. Telehealth technology will be used to support multidisciplinary care in regional areas where feasible b) the implementation of new research findings, evidence-based treatment and care, commencing with the national adoption of the NSW Cancer Institute’s eviQ database as an easily accessible, consistent, on-line, point-of-care treatment resource for cancer health professionals.
