Example OnkoZert Certification: Topics • Basics aboutOnkoZert • Oncological Centers • Benefitof an oncologicalcenter • RequirementsregardingTumour Boards • Areas forImprovementsregarding Tumor Boards
Topic 1. Basics about OnkoZert
OnkoZert What‘saboutOnkoZert? • Independent facility in Neu-Ulm/Germany • Developed the certificationsystemof the German Cancerassociation (DKG) fororgancancercenters and oncologicalcenters • Certification on the basisof the medicalrequirementsregarding the treatmentofoncologialpatients
Structure of oncologial treatment centers 3-Stages-model oftheoncologicaltreatmentstructure CCC = ComprehensiveCancer Center CCC Oncological Center Organ Cancer Center
Combi-model OnkoZert • Interdisciplinarycenter: • Separate legal personality • 4 protagonists • center (heads and coordinator) • Main treatmentpartners/keytreaters • Other cooperationpartners • Private practices and specialists • Point ofintersection: • Tumor board • Central target: • Consistent same qualityregardlesswhere the patientistransferredto the center

OnkoZert-Requirements OnkoZert-Certificationsystem: • Forinterdisciplinarycancercenters • Oncological Center withmodules and oncologicalentities • Summary ofdata in elicitationsheet • Fulfilmentofrequirements in elicitationsheetnecessaryforcertification • Development and furtherdevelopmentbyinterdisciplinarycertificationcommitteesof the German Cancerassociation
Key figures / Quality indicators Documentationof the oncologicaltreatment • Definition of uniform and understandable organ-specificrequirements, key-figures and qualityindicatorsby the German Cancerassociation, e.g. • Primary case • Operations • Complication • Preconditiontomeasure an increase in the treatmentsquality

Tumour Boards • Target: Evaluation and stagingof different tumourentities in a commoninterdisciplinaryweeklyconference on the basisoffirstdiagnosticresults • Tumor Boards are the corestructurefor the requestedinterdisciplinarycooperation and treatmentapproach • The discussion in TB followsestablishedfixedrules • Individual specialTumour Boards forspecialtumourentitiesarepossible
Tumour Boards • Recommendations of the interdisciplinary team must be based on the evidence based medicine and the guidelines or regulations of the medical-scientific associations • Recommendations shold take reference to the guidelines. They shall not reformulate these new • Workings out however of the local clinical diagnostic and treatment procedures (SOPs) along the guidelines are required (Transfer of guidelines into the daily actual clinical treatment)
Tasks of the Tumour Boards • Recommendations in regard to further diagnostic, therapy and After-treatment procedures of individual patients • Planning of the further treatment of certain tumour patients or patients with recidives in the interdisciplinary team • Establishment and publication of the internal SOPs guidelines (SOPs) for the most important tumour diseases
Requiremants regarding the TB implementation Procedurestoberegulatedfor the implementationof a Tumour Board • Cycle • Participants • Patient presentation • Preparation • Procedureof the performanceofaTumour Board • Tasks after finishing a Tumour Board:Information and executionof the recommendations
Topic 2. Oncological Center
Impact of an Oncological Center • Center for the evaluation and treatmentofnumerouestumourenties • Higher grade ofspecialisation: even the expertiseforvery rare diseasesisfocused in such a center • Preconditionfor the first OC-certification: Integration ofat least 2 organcancercenters and ofmodules (brain, head, mouth etc.) • Recertification (after 3 years):Integration ofat least 3 organcancercenters

Rules of Order and development of the OC • Clear targetting • Set-up, organisational structure, personal of the OC • Steering Committee • Cooperation partners internal and external • Operational and decision making procedures • Core competencies and Tumour Boards • Documentation of follow up of patients • Quality Assurance • Cost- and finance structure • Action plans • Public relations
Topic 3. Benefits from the Oncological Center
Registra-tion Admission Diagnostic Aftertreatment Therapy Release/Transfer OC impact and benefit to clinics Oncological Center facilitates Useofsynergies Facilitationof Clinical Research Interdisciplinarity Improvedcommunication Technical and professional exchange Continuous, standardized, transparent processes High therapeuticstandards, preventionoffailures

Topic 4. Requirements for Tumor Boards according to OnkoZert
Cycle and participants of Tumour Boards • Cycle: Performance at least 1 x weekly • Participants (competencelevel: seniorconsultants) • Relevant diagnostic, surgical and chemotherpeuticexpertise (organ-specific) • Radio-oncology • Hematology and Oncology • Pathology • Radiology

Documentation of the Tumour Board • The results of the Tumour Board is a written interdisciplinary treatment planning • Becomes part of patients documentation • Can be the content of the release letter to the transfering practitioner • Documentation should be generated automatically from the electronic tumour information system • Patient gets a copy of the documentation on demand
Topic 5. Sometypicalareasforimprovementsof the performanceof a Tumour Board
Patient management OC Areas for Improvement 1. Central registrationofpatientswith a minimumlead time
Areas for Improvement 2. Check of the patients documentation in OC regarding completeness. Demanding missing informations and results
Areas for Improvement 3. Distribution of a list with the patients together with the informations and results to the participants in adequate time before the Tumour Board for their preparation
Areas for Improvement 4. Self-preparation of the participants of the Tumour Board on the basis of the documention and possibly their own clinical knowledge of the patient
Areas for Improvement 5. Room equipment and sitting order of the participants
Areas for Improvement 6. Leadingof a Tumor Board bya Board member (Clinical Directors) ofthe Center orhisDeputy
Areas for Improvement 7. Presentation of the patient after request of the head of the TB by a participant with the discipline nearest to the indication 8. Calling upon the patients along the prepared list 9. Concurrent documentation with concurrent control via beamer checking by the participants
Areas for Improvement 10. Perfect images of highest quality of the pathologists and radiologists
Areas for Improvement 11. Explanation of the pathological results by the pathologist and radiologist 12. Video conferences
