title: [Cancer patients' experiences contribute to more patient-centred care].
abstract: In the Region of Southern Denmark, Vejle Hospital has taken the first step toward measuring patient-centred care from cancer patient’s perspective. Based on results from a local patient survey this article aims to evaluate how Vejle Hospital is per­forming with regard to principles for patient-centred care in different parts of the cancer trajectory. The survey provides unique data at ward level and opportunities to initiate targeted improvement efforts for cancer patients to monitor improve­ments in patient-experienced care, which is crucial to become truly patient-centred.
