Cancer Care: a Patient Experience Survey

Cancer Care: a Patient Experience Survey

I would like to continue to discuss the great work that has been accomplished in the health care industry of British Columbia. Briefly, I will be introducing the Centre for Health Services and Policy Research (CHSPR) that is an independent research center based out of the University of British Columbia.

Over the past decade, there has been a movement of conducting research on understanding a patient’s experience with outpatient cancer care. Some research tools included questionnaires, surveys, interviews and more.  The research was led by the BC Patient Reported Experience Measures Steering Committee (PREMS Committee).

Being diagnosed with cancer is a horrific reality. Thus, it is essential that we understand the outpaitent cancer care experience and this research is a great step in the right direction.

The research focused in areas such as, but is not limited to:

• Clinical outcomes
• Respectful care
• Personal views
• Emotional needs
• Outpatient care
