[Local communication system between hospitals, clinics and nursing homes and their team approaches are essential in a consistent medical care for cancer patients].
Designated cancer care hospitals are responsible for constructing a local communication system between hospitals, clinics and nursing homes. Their team approaches are essential in a consistent medical care for cancer patients. Clinical pathway sheets shared by them will promote their collaboration and keep the consistency of medical care. Counseling and supporting section, palliative care unit and palliative care team in the designated cancer care hospital play an important role improving the quality of medical care for cancer patients.
