Topics
• National tumour stream standards project
status
• Regional/local implementation considerations
• Progress against lung standards
• Other regional tumour stream work – skin,
bowel
• Gynae pathway – presentation from Dr. Cecile
Bergzoll CCDHB
• Proposed activities 2013/2014
National standards of service
provision
Background
• Ensure that patients receive timely and good quality
care
• Enable the development of efficient and sustainable
best practice management of specific tumour types
• Promote a nationally co-ordinated and consistent
approach to service provision for the tumour type
• Required to help mitigate the risk of patients receiving
poor quality care including the provision of services
which meet the timeliness measures assciated with the
FCT indicators

National tumour stream standards – future
development plans
• Ongoing role of the working groups - the Chairs Group
recommended a two-tier process for consideration by
the MoH –
– A smaller tumour specific group to give mandate to chair.
– A national pan-tumour group including all the Chairs
• Additional tumour stream standards to be developed –
prostate 2013-2014, urology and CNS TBA

Key Actions
Responsibility Progress
National Lung Cancer Work Group (NLCWG)
The following areas for action were identified for consideration at a
national level:
 Abnormal CXR – discussion re variable processes in place from
when a patient has an abnormal CXR and subsequent access to
CT. Suggested that an audit is done of current practices through
the College of Radiologists, including both private and public
services
 Special Interest Group - support for an email comms group to be
established to support the spread of innovation and new
approaches
 Follow-up – potential guidance re F/U requirements. Helen to send
Breast F/U package to Loryn
 Lung cancer conference – support for an annual clinical forum
attached the national conference. Consider networks hosting these
on rotation
NLCWG
Recent communications from NLCWG:
 19/12 - Release of updated Australian clinical
practice guidelines for lung cancer
 21/12 - Revised Lung Cancer Core Dataset Form
for consultation
The next NLCWG is on the 22nd March 2013. The following
current members on the group are from the CCN region;

Dr James Entwisle, Clinical Leader, Radiology
Department, CCDHB

Dr David Hamilton, Radiation Oncologist, CCDHB

Mr Glen McKay, Cardiothoracic Surgeon, CCDHB

Dr Helen Winter, Medical Oncologist and Intern
Supervisor, MDHB

Professor Richard Edwards, Professor of Public
Health and Head of Department, University of
Otago, Wellington School of Medicine and Health
Services
Lung standards - regional
• Regional lung steering group – proposed
that function sits with lung MDMs
• Data – enabling clinical audit
• EBUS – C&CDHB implementation currently
• Lung MDMs – TORs referral criteria
• Care coordination – CNCs with lung focus
in C&CDHB, MDHB, HBDHB

Regional/local implementation
considerations
Audit
• Previous regional mapping work done in lung, gynae and
bowel can be used as baseline data
• Faster Cancer Treatment data will be utilised
• Audit can be performed either within a tumour stream
as well as across the aligned standards
• RCNs developing agreed audit tools
• Need to work out an audit plan with the DHBs to ensure
we obtain the greatest value for each DHB and for the
region as a whole to inform their FCT work
Bowel 2013-2014 proposed activities
3.3 Support implementation of the National Endoscopy
Quality Improvement Programme (NEQIP) plan in each
DHB (led by NEQIP team, Bay of Plenty DHB)
• Proposed Activities:
• All DHBs completing the roll out of the Global Rating Scale
• Ministry visits to DHBs to discuss implementation of direct access
to colonoscopy criteria in Aug/Sep 2013
• Develop and implement a subregional approach to colonoscopy
referral and wait list – C&CDHB, HVDHB, WaiDHB (3D)
• Participate in nationally led endoscopy workforce developments as
appropriate
Prostate 2013-2014 proposed activities
2.7 Identify and establish plan to address regional
priorities arising from the National Prostate Cancer
Quality Improvement Plan

•
Proposed Activities:
Contribute to the national development and distribution of prostate
cancer information resources by June 2014.
Contribute to the development of national standards and draft guidelines
by June 2014.
Suggest that the following two activities identified in the RSP are delayed
until next year when the standards are available:
Regional Prostate Cancer Steering Group established by end September
2013.
Regional Prostate Cancer Improvement Plan approved by DHBs by end
December 2013.
Overall tumour steam proposed activities
2013-2014
2.5 Begin implementing the National Tumour Standards
of Service Provision – annual priorities identified and
actions planned to address gaps
• Proposed Activities:
• CCN stakeholders to continue to participate on national tumour
stream groups as able (Ministry currently identifying roles and
support for these groups).
• Confirm regional clinical leadership processes – proposed that this
sits with MDM groups via 6 monthly meetings.
• Work with other RCNs to develop a tool for auditing the tumour
standards by December 13 and undertake an audit against a
tumour standard by March 13. (standard yet to be decided)
