Implementing standardized cancer patient pathways (CPPs) – a qualitative study exploring the perspectives of health care professionals

摘要

BackgroundMany countries have implemented standardized cancer patient pathways (CPPs) to reduce waiting times in cancer care and to ensure timely and quick diagnosis as well as treatment. Yet, no studies have explored the implementation process as perceived by the health care professionals working in the CPPs. The aim of this study is to explore the experiences of health care professionals (HPCs) involved in the CPPs.
