Abstract

United Kingdom (UK) healthcare system is quite successful for achieving the goals of good health outcomes, risk protection, and public satisfaction. Based on the Commonwealth Fund study in 2014, UK healthcare system ranks first regarding quality, access, efficiency, equity, and healthy lives among 11 developed nations with even a fair cost. However, when it comes to cancer outcomes, UK lags behind many developed countries. Cancer survival is a good example of an area in which both health outcomes and public satisfaction, key determinants of quality, are strikingly lacking. Therefore, this paper, to analyze and formulate reforms to address deficient quality in the English health system, will look at the particular example of cancer survival rates. The key factors leading to deficient outcomes in cancer survival are delays in diagnosis and access to appropriate care. Policy recommendations to improve cancer survival rates are to timely screening and early diagnostic opportunities within the primary care system, utilize available treatment capacity and quick approval and workforce training for utilization of new treatments and drugs, and continue prioritizing cancer care coordination and integration through improved referral services, and increase provider decision support

分析Unıted王国医疗保健系统:对英国癌症管理的启示

英国(UK)的医疗保健系统在实现良好的健康结果、风险保护和公众满意度方面相当成功。根据2014年英联邦基金的研究，在11个发达国家中，英国的医疗体系在质量、可及性、效率、公平和健康生活方面排名第一，而且成本也很公平。然而，在癌症治疗方面，英国落后于许多发达国家。癌症存活率是一个很好的例子，在这个领域，健康结果和公众满意度(质量的关键决定因素)都明显缺乏。因此，本文将以癌症存活率为例，分析和制定改革方案，以解决英国卫生系统质量不足的问题。导致癌症生存结果不足的关键因素是诊断和获得适当护理的延误。提高癌症存活率的政策建议是在初级保健系统内及时筛查和早期诊断机会，利用现有的治疗能力和快速批准和劳动力培训来利用新的治疗方法和药物，并通过改进转诊服务继续优先考虑癌症护理协调和整合，并增加提供者决策支持
