Implementing quality assurance (QA) scheme
Summary
1.Situational analysis of quality management system implementation in EU population-based cancer screening programmes, which entails a stakeholder survey to identify EU population-based screening programmes, assessment of the extent of quality management system implementation, and determining number of countries with certification.
2. Identifying necessary resources for QA system implementation in established cancer screening programmes, which entails interviews with stakeholders involved in certified population-based screening programmes to delineate the required resources.
3. Identifying steps necessary for implementing PROMs in cancer screening programmes, which entails a systematic review to understand the nuances and challenges of integrating PROMS into cancer screening units, and a survey of EU MS that have successfully implemented them. We will also develop a robust and adaptable framework for their implementation across EU.
This task will be led by UCY, Cyprus, co-led by ICO, Spain.
