Harnessing data for better cancer care

The report aims to offer policymakers, care providers and decision-makers a forward-looking view of opportunities for optimising the use of data to improve efficiency in cancer care. It starts by defining data and investigating the current role of data in cancer care.It then describes where data have contributed to improving patient outcomes and efficiency across the cancer care pathway, focusing in particular on their role in addressing inefficiencies viewed as important to cancer patients and their caregivers, based on previous All.Can research. The report then discusses the challenges that remain in optimising the use of data and provides recommendations for policymakers to overcome these challenges.
