Abstract:
How can we improve the interoperability of medical guidelines and the implementation and measurement of outcomes in medical health care for cancer patients as well as for care providers? This is the aim of the working group "Quality and Cross-linking". The following publication gives an overview of the targets reached in the development of guidelines together with quality indicators and documentation in cancer registries.
