摘要

Management of patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) is a complex process that involves extensive knowledge on (at least) the discipline of surgery, radiation oncology, medical oncology and molecular biology. It includes prevention, cancer treatment, follow up schedule and potential risk from treatment (radiation exposure). A major point is that perhaps now more than ever process management needs to be at the center of the HNC care. Process management transcends all specialties: it should be recognized as a component of the team to embrace rather than fear change. Process management can guarantee the quality of the decisional process and the technical quality of the equipment, such as access to care for all, implementation of technology to control data entry, standardization of procedures and safety. Each step of the process needs adequate controls to avoid errors, ensure optimal treatment strategy and increase patient satisfaction. The application of process management method can lead to reduce treatment start times, fall risk and therefore, improve quality of HNC patient care and safety.
