Standardized course of care for patients with cancer, proportion (%)
Description
Proportion of patients examined within a standardized course of care out of the total number of people who are expected to receive a cancer diagnosis during the year. The calculation is based on data from the National Board of Health and Welfare. Standardized course of care (SVF) is a national approach that aims to reduce unnecessary waiting and uncertainty for the patient. All SVFs start with a well-founded suspicion of cancer. What is a well-founded suspicion, how it should be investigated and how long this may take, is stated in the national care program for each cancer diagnosis. The time from well-founded suspicion to the start of treatment is measured in the same way throughout the country. An SVF describes the investigations to be carried out in the event of suspicion of a particular cancer disease, as well as the maximum time limits within which the investigations must be completed and the first treatment must be started. The denominator consists of the total number of people who are expected to receive a cancer diagnosis during the year. The calculation is based on the number of cancer cases in the last three years with data from the Cancer Registry at the National Board of Health and Welfare.
