[Expansion and creativity in nursing: the oncology case management model used at the NCKU hospital]

Full Abstract

Oncology case management models have been encouraged in recent years for cancer treatment in Taiwan as a way to help cancer patients and their families navigate complicated treatment processes. A total of six transdiciplinary oncology teams, led by National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) hospital oncology case managers, operated for four years at NCKUH's Cancer Center. The performance of oncology case managers and level of satisfaction registered by both cancer patients and medical staff were outstanding.
