Optimising quality of life and survival for brain cancer patients Australia-wide.
The Brain Cancer Biobanking Australia (BCBA) will establish a process for identifying and refining a set of clinical indicators to measure quality of care across the entire trajectory of the brain cancer patient journey.
The BCBA will convene a multi-disciplinary panel of brain cancer experts to prioritise and gain consensus on paediatric and adult quality care clinical benchmarks. The indicators developed will be used to build a national clinical registry. Once established, the data collected will guide clinicians, hospitals and other stakeholders in activities to reduce variations in care, ultimately optimising quality of life and survival for brain cancer patients Australia-wide.
