Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Healthcare Management
  • Quality Improvement

Background:

  • Lung cancer (LC) is the fourth most common cancer in Spain, requiring multidisciplinary management.
  • Effective care coordination is essential for optimal patient outcomes in LC treatment.
  • Multidisciplinary Thoracic Tumour Boards (MTTBs) are central to decision-making for lung cancer patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a standard for the certification and evaluation of Multidisciplinary Thoracic Tumour Boards (MTTBs).
  • To establish criteria for improving the quality of care for lung cancer patients through standardized MTTB practices.

Main Methods:

  • A multidisciplinary working group of 11 experts developed the proposed standard.
  • The standard includes minimum requirements, a two-stage model (preparation and audit), and three indicator groups (Strategic and Management, Support, Operational).
  • The proposed certification involves three levels and a defined audit process.

Main Results:

  • A comprehensive standard for certifying MTTBs was proposed.
  • The standard incorporates structural and operational indicators for evaluation.
  • Three certification levels are suggested to reflect varying degrees of adherence and performance.

Conclusions:

  • Certifying MTTBs is crucial for elevating the standard of care for lung cancer patients.
  • Standardized certification can lead to improved care structure and potentially better patient survival.
  • The proposed standard provides a framework for consistent and high-quality multidisciplinary thoracic oncology care.
