Millions of cancer patients promised to diagnose and treat faster, with the launch of a new technology via NHS in England.
The tool is called cancer 360, it is designed to bring in cancer patients to one central system in order for doctors and nurses to give priority to the needy and see them more quickly.
to divide health Social welfare (DHSC) said that the goal is to help transfer the current analog systems to a digital system so that health care employees in England do not have to collect important information about each cancer patient from data schedules, email messages and various records.
Dr. Vin Diwakar, NHS “Every patient of cancer deserves quick and effective care, and our new cancer solution harnesses 360 data to ensure this exactly. By giving doctors a comprehensive vision of the patient’s paths, we can determine the delay and treat it immediately.”
“With the expansion of CNCER 360 to more hospitals in the country, I am sure that we will see meaningful improvements in both times of treatment and patient experience.”
It is understood that confidence will not be forced to use the tool, but those who do not meet NHS standards about cancer – including that 85 % of cancer patients should have started their treatment within 62 days of referring it – they may be asked to think about how to help them achieve goals.
DHSC said that CNCER 360, as well as helping patients in obtaining a faster diagnosis, would help reduce delay in treatment and thus enhance survival rates.
Eve Bern welcomed the support of McMilan cancer, by mobilization, saying: “With nearly 3.5 million people suffering from cancer in the UK – a number is still rising – the need for diagnosis was not faster and timely treatment is more urgent.
“Many people are still facing unacceptable differences in their cancerous care, from diagnosis to treatment and support. We welcome the operation of any technology that helps improve results, reduce delay, and give people who suffer from cancer greater control over their well -being.”
Professor Phil Banfield, head of the Council at the British Medical Association, said: “Initiatives such as this show a great promise in achieving the disassembled, separate and spontaneous NHS systems in the twenty -first century,” said Professor Phil Banfield, Chairman of the Council at the British Medical Association.
He added: “In order for these reforms to make a real difference, we need to make sure that the health service has an investment or more than the employees who need to benefit from these developments.”
This technology was tried at the Royal United Hospital in Bath, Chelsea Hospital and Westminster Hospital. It was said that he helped meet the fastest diagnosis standard, as 75 % of patients should receive a diagnosis or exclude cancer within 28 days of referral.
“I have seen directly the tension and sorrow caused by cancer in my family,” said the Minister of Technology, Peter Kyle.
“Depending on the old pen and paper systems, the life -saving diagnostic dates are hanging on whether the note has lost its stick, or lost the paper. This endangers lives. With the technology we have today, there is no reason for any part of our health care service in this way.”
The Minister of Health, Wes Street, said that the government was investing 26 billion pounds in NHS, adding: “It is a long road, but we are already returning NHS on our feet, with patients giving more than 3 million other dates, employing a new 1500 GPS, and starting the new technology that will provide lives.”
