ONCOptimal
Optimizing processes and humanizing the patient experience within hospital day units.
The ONCOptimal project (Optimizing the efficiency of oncology day hospitals) is a scientific initiative of
the ECO Foundation, in which several entities related to the field of Oncology have collaborated, with
the aim of preparing a report of recommendations on the optimization of efficiency in oncology
day hospitals (HDO) in Spain.
The aim is to be able to:
– Reduce the waiting time for the administration of oncology treatment in new patients once
diagnosed and in those already undergoing treatment on successive occasions.
– Humanize health care by optimizing waiting times and, therefore, the patient’s stay in the day
hospital.
– To prevent errors in the prescription, preparation and administration of medication.
