Current focus on cancer survivorship
• Increase in the number of cancer survivors
Earlier diagnosis, Improved therapies
• Greater emphasis on quantity AND quantity of life
• Cancer is seen as a chronic disease
at least for some types of cancer as breast, prostate cancer in an early stage
• Burden on health care delivery systems
» Innovation of our care delivery models in general
» Focus on cost in relation to quality of care

Feasibility study (1)
Aim multi-centre pilot study
•To assess feasibility of OncoKompas in clinical practice in
patients with head and neck cancer
Study design
•Baseline measurement
•OncoKompas is made ​available to patients at the VUmc, LUMC
and Maastricht UMC
•Quantitative (satisfaction) survey
Participants (N=61)
•36 men and 25 women
•Average age: 58 years (24-73 years)
27
Feasibility study (2)
Mean OncoKompas score: 7 (1-10 scale)
Positive findings
• 75% would recommend OncoKompas to fellow patients
• 80% could easily find relevant information in OncoKompas
• >60% satisfied with the supportive care options offered
Considerations
• 35% indicated that certain questions were difficult to answer
• 31% felt that going through the OncoKompas took too much
time
• OncoKompas should be made available on a tablet
28
Optimizing OncoKompas
• Up-dating OncoKompas
• Adding tumor specific modules
• Development of new
functionalities (e.g. zip code
specification)
Upcoming studies
