4 WHAT? AIM: To provide women evidence-based and person-centred care for all stages of breast cancer care, via: 1 - the establishment of a set of evidence-based guidelines 1. SCREENING 2. DIAGNOSIS THE New edition of EUROPEAN GUIDELINES 3. TREATMENT 4. REHABILITATION 5. FOLLOW-UP PLATFORM of HIGH QUALITY trustworthy existing GUIDELINES 2 - based on such a set, the implementation and monitoring (auditing) of a set of quality standards - the voluntary European Quality Assurance scheme 4 PSQCWG 8 June Brussels

5 ECIBC: the QA scheme 1. SCREENING 2. DIAGNOSIS 3. TREATMENT 4. REHABILITATION 5. FOLLOW-UP Covered by Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 and including: 1 - Specific requirements from Guidelines (plus trackability between stages and communication with patients) 2 - Patient Safety (Directive 2011/24/EU & Council Recommendation of 2009, inputs from PSQCWG & PaSQ Joint Action) And potentially: Quality Management, Testing activities accreditation, Data collection requirements (KPIs, possible cancer registries indicators) 5 PSQCWG 8 June Brussels

8 ECIBC and the organisation of breast cancer care in Europe EUROPEAN COMMISSION It aims to propose voluntary requirements for breast cancer services, whenever possible based on evidence, applicable by all countries and impacting on quality of care in a reasonable timeframe (the what) EUROPEAN COUNTRIES Based on evidence and new available technologies, countries will be free to decide on which model to apply in order to fulfil those requirements (the how) BREAST CANCER SERVICES Where they exist under other schemes, breast cancer services can adhere to the European QA scheme and thus confirm compliance to essential requirements common throughout Europe 8 PSQCWG 8 June Brussels

9 JRC networking activity for ECIBC and collaboration with EC Expert/working groups, Joint actions And all stakeholders (patients, professionals, research entities) Event on standardisation planned for October PSQCWG 8 June Brussels

10 JRC research activity for ECIBC > 1000 papers classified > 500 contacts > 60 bi-laterals Other reports to come (on comparison of existing QA schemes) 10 PSQCWG 8 June Brussels

11 JRC research activity for ECIBC: Survey on breast units Other surveys to come (e.g. on breast cancer databases) 11 PSQCWG 8 June Brussels

12 ECIBC web-hub 12 PSQCWG 8 June Brussels

13 Conclusions: ECIBC expected outcomes A pilot and voluntary European quality assurance (QA) scheme for breast cancer services based on guidelines New European Guidelines for breast cancer screening and diagnosis A platform of guidelines for other stages of breast cancer care An European template of training on digital mammography A long-term web hub hosting all the outcomes If this concept proves to be successful, JRC would provide support for its application for other healthcare areas 13 PSQCWG 8 June Brussels
