Clinical practice guidelines and quality of care improvement
Phone 088 97 25 193

To provide high-quality care for childhood cancer patients and survivors and to optimize their quality of life and life expectancy, clinicians must stay up-to-date with the newest scientific evidence. Clinical practice guidelines are essential in translating evidence into clinical practice, giving clinicians guidance to provide optimal care. During my PhD we have founded the International Late Effects of Childhood Cancer Guideline Harmonization Group (IGHG) and have established evidence-based methods to develop guidelines within pediatric oncology. The IGHG is chaired by Leontien Kremer and Melissa Hudson from the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, United States and coordinated by me. I produce and assist international harmonized guidelines for the long-term follow-up care for childhood cancer survivors and fertility preservation for children with cancer. Moreover, I produce and assist the development of national and international supportive care guidelines. An important step is the dissemination of guidelines and the translation into patient materials together with patient representatives. I am working on innovations to improve patient care, such as individual survivorship care plans and patient decision aids for childhood cancer survivors. In addition, I focus on the improvement of the quality of care by developing outcome indicators to measure the quality of care, benchmark with other pediatric cancer centers and identify areas for improvement.
