,Abstract
Background: Due to the availability of modern treatment techniques, many stakeholders
are involved in het care process of cancer patients, making it important that everything
around the patient is well organized. Currently, each stakeholder often works in his/her
own department and nobody has full control over the patient’s care process. In addition to
these internal aspects, professional organizations and the Healthcare Inspectorate have
published standards for all tumor types to professionalize their care. One requirement
described for this is a person within the chain who maintains an overall overview of the
treatment process, called a case manager. The Maastricht University Medical Centre
(MUMC+) has appointed nurse practitioners to fulfill the role of case managers. This is
done on the tumor line which includes colorectal patients. Although this is a promising
development, case management is organized from the perspective of professional
organizations and the Healthcare Inspectorate. To further improve case management, the
experiences of colorectal patients will be investigated in this study.
Method: A qualitative, cross-sectional case design was chosen for this study to gain more
insight in the experiences towards case management. Semi-structured interviews were
conducted at the oncology centre in the MUMC+. Colorectal cancer patients who were
treated with chemotherapy or surgery and had at least three contact moments with the
case manager were questioned. The topics in the interviews were derived from the PPE-15
questionnaire. This questionnaire is based on the eight domains of the Picker Institute.
Furthermore, a directed content analysis was performed.
Results: In total, eight patients were interviewed. During the interviews it emerged that
the patients are positive about the domains: ‘‘respect for patients’ values, preferences and
expressed needs’’, ‘‘coordination and integration’’, ‘‘information, communication &
education’’ and ‘‘involvement family and friends’’. Additionally, patients are not satisfied,
while there is no role for the case manager about the following domains: ‘‘physical
support’’, ‘‘emotional support and alleviation of fear and anxiety’’ and ‘‘access to care’’.
Lastly, the patients are not satisfied, while there is a role for the case manager about the
domain ‘‘transition and continuity’’.
Conclusion: The case manager contributes to patient centeredness of care. However,
patients still see possibilities for improving patient centeredness, especially within the
domains concerning more practical activities, such as planning and logistics, compared to
the domains involving psychological and emotional support.
