PATHFINDER: Accelerating the lung cancer patient pathway

Overview

The UK have some of the lowest global survival rates for lung cancer.


Early diagnosis is critical for patients to be able to access AstraZeneca’s life-saving, innovative products and improve outcomes, but NHS workers do not have capacity to address this challenge on a systematic scale.


Regional heterogeneity in care is impacting efficacy of lung cancer services. Impactful change requires engagement from the NHS, which will support initiatives to develop and test new models of care

Challenge

PATHFINDER was a collaborative initiative between the NHS, AstraZeneca and IQVIA aiming to support the NHS in understanding current patient pathways and implementing changes to facilitate earlier diagnosis of lung cancer.

  • Analysis of quantitative and qualitative data, to identify pain points in patient pathways
  • Deep-dive assessments in centres to identify local needs and develop action plans
  • Implementation of key recommendations, to streamline pathways

Re-engineering the National Lung Cancer Best Practice Pathway:


Working with the NHS National Lung Cancer team, IQVIA played a pivotal role in improving lung cancer care pathways, providing a roadmap to help NHS Hospitals deliver treatment faster, reducing patient review times.


Pathfinder will help the NHS achieve the goal to diagnose 75% of all cancer patients at stage I/II by 2028.

Measureable optimisation of care pathways

Implementing optimised pathway steps identified through pathfinder nationally could release or 2,430 days of capacity if patients were treated within 21 days.

PATHFINDER is providing a roadmap to help trusts deliver treatment faster, helping to reach these targets

Patient review times reduced: 5 days < 24 hours

PET-CT scan wait time reduce: 5-7 days < 2 days

Improved sample collection & delivery: 80% now reach lab on same day

2 findings incorporated into GRIFT facilitating improved MDT working


Future opportunities to disseminate findings across the cancer clinical community, allowing solutions to be leveraged across other centres and other cancer areas
