Webinar panel: Can integrated clinical collaboration improve cancer outcomes in Sweden?

April 22, 2022

Sweden maintains high standards and stands up well in international comparisons of outcomes in cancer care. However, differences in healthcare between various population groups and regions persist, and the pandemic significantly delayed cancer diagnostics and treatment.

Interested in finding out how the integrated clinical collaboration of regional multidisciplinary experts can improve access to cancer care services, shorten waiting times and reduce regional differences in Sweden and Europe?

On May 12, between 10:00-11:00 (CEST), Parsek, together with Karolinska Institutet Innovations, as part of EIT Health Bridgehead programme, organise an international webinar panel discussion. The experts involved will outline the current models of collaboration in cancer care in Sweden and explore on whether the digitally transformed use cases from other markets could be applied in Sweden to help improve patient outcomes and creating more sustainable cancer care in Sweden.

Topics discussed:

• Current cancer care delivery in Sweden and challenges of diagnostics and treatment posed by the pandemic
• Swedish regional and national clinical guidelines for improving cancer care services
• The value of technology for enhancing multidisciplinary teamwork to tackle the current challenges of efficiency and equity of cancer care
• Examples of integrated clinical collaboration of multidisciplinary team meetings from the Netherlands and the United Kingdom and the results of the transformed services
• Are integrated collaboration models applicable in Sweden to support improved outcomes and a more sustainable health system?

Speakers involved:

• Helena Brändström (SE) – Deputy National Coordinator – Regional Cancer Centers
• Dr Koos van der Hoeven (NL) – Internist oncologist and Chairman of Oncomid network in the Central Netherlands
