Bridging the gap: Enablers and barriers in implementing global cancer care efficiency metrics – A qualitative implementation study

 

2024 ECO Summit Poster Efficiency Cancer Care

Efficiency in cancer care is essential for improving patient outcomes and experience, optimizing resource utilization, and ensuring healthcare systems performance. As cancer rates rise globally, timely and coordinated care is crucial. All.Can International, jointly with the Health Value Alliance and the University of Southampton, previously identified eight efficiency metrics as a foundational starting point for standardising measurement along global cancer care pathways (1). This study identifies the enablers and barriers to implementing these metrics at national and organisational levels.

The G7 Health Ministers adopt policy briefs on AMR and AI

The G7 Health Ministers, gathered in Ancona from 9 to 11 October, adopted a Joint Declaration, which Minister Orazio Schillaci described as “ambitious and which includes and summarises the common stances on all the issues addressed during these months”.

One of the working sessions took place together with the G7 Finance Ministers. During this joint meeting, Italy announced the funding of $21 million over the next three years for CARB-X, a global non-profit partnership that supports the development of new antibiotics.

Another significant result of the meeting was the approval of a policy brief on Artificial Intelligence and Health.
