Faster Cancer Treatment (FCT)
- Improving quality of care across the
patient cancer pathway
Update Aug 2012
FCT - Indicators
Indicator two (best practise – 14 days)
Urgent referral
with highsuspicion of
cancer
First specialist
assessment
Indicator three (best practise – 31 days)
Decision-to-treat
First cancer
treatment
Indicator one (best practise – 62 days)
Referred urgently with high suspicion of cancer receive first cancer treatment
within 62 days
Referred urgently with high suspicion of cancer have first specialist assessment
within 14 days
Confirmed diagnosis of cancer receive first cancer treatment within 31 days of
decision-to-treat
Implementation of the FCT Indicators
• Current focus areas:
•
•
•
•
National Tumour Streams
Regional Implementation Plans
MDM development
Care Coordination
National Tumour Streams
• Regional cancer networks contracted to host the
following national tumour streams:
•
•
•
•
NCN– Sarcoma, Upper Gastrointestinal, Melanoma, Head and Neck
MCN – Breast, and continue with Lung
CCN – Haematological
SCN – Bowel, Gynaecological
• Development tumour care standards and pathways
by June 2013
• Urological cancer tumour standards will be
developed following Prostate Cancer Task Force
recommendations to Government late this year.
Regional FCT Implementation Plan
Period
Expected Processes
July 2012 to Dec 2012
DHB of Domicile compile FCT indicators based
on information provided by the various treating
DHBs
Mid Term
Regional consolidation with an emphasis on
automating processes where it is viable
Longer Term (2015+)
CRISP enabled information management,
national reporting framework supported by
national datasets and business rules
Process
Reporting Approach 1 July to 31 December 2012
CCN DHBs Report
details of patient
treated for the month
To all 20 DHBs
regardless of cancer
region
Service
Information
sourced from
other cancer
regions
CCN DHB of Domicile
Matches treatment
outside of DHB with
local information
DHB of Domicile Local
Patient Information
DHB of Domicile

Data for FCT reporting
DHB of services

Reasons
DHB Of Domicile

Regional FCT Implementation Plan
• Planned Resources:
– 0.8FTE Regional Project Manager
– 0.5FTE Regional data manager
– Approx 1FTE clinical analyst resource in each
of MDHB and CCDHB (major treatment
centres)
– Funding for the regional data consolidation
process / tool
Awaiting MOH confirmation of funding
Care Coordination
• Regional stocktakes of care coordination
resources completed June 2012
• Budget announcement re investment in
new nursing coordination roles
• Expert Advisory Group established to
develop model – Aug 12
• MOH contracting with DHBs in Oct 12
MDM Development
Funding advice identified $2 million nationally for
MDMs - $455K CCN region
Next phase of activity:
• Implement the national Guidance for Implementing Quality
MDMs
• Transition to a video-conferenced environment
• Transition to regional electronic MDM proforma to allow:
– data collection as enabled by CRISP
– collection and reporting MDM data to provide baseline access
statistics
• Implement appropriate MDM coordination functions
• Develop a regional funding model
Programme Governance
• Regional FCT Steering Group:
– representation from relevant DHB executives, CRISP,
DHB managers, clinicians and consumers
– Determine what needs to be done from a regional
perspective, monitoring
• DHB FCT Implementation Steering Groups:
– Representation similar to above but at a local level
– Determine how things get done from a district
perspective,
FCT Key messages
• clinically driven with a patient and whānau focus
• significant change from specific cancer treatment
modalities to a view across the cancer pathway
• change to current process that will lead to better
quality and cost effective care
• quality care across the pathway not just timeliness
• requires significant improvements to inter service and
provider integration
• innovations supporting care coordination will be critical
• first phase: aligning systems to achieve accountability
against indicators
