Redefining Efficiency in Cancer Care: Challenges, Innovations, & Outcomes - With Elham Hedayati

As part of All.Can’s mission to unite global stakeholders and generate actionable insights into cancer care efficiency, we are thrilled to announce the release of our latest video featuring Elham Hedayati, Senior Consultant in Oncology and Associate Professor in Sweden.
Through this insightful conversation, Elham redefines what efficiency in cancer care truly means. She shares her reflections on the challenges posed by rigid healthcare systems that often prioritize convenience over what is best for patients and providers. She calls for a shift toward flexibility, innovation, and a willingness to challenge conventional practices to achieve better outcomes.
Elham underscores the importance of moving beyond group-based care processes, advocating for personalized approaches tailored to individual patient needs. Her remarks emphasize the critical role of benchmarking cancer care outcomes across European countries, supported by robust, risk-adjusted models. By comparing outcomes meaningfully, healthcare systems can eliminate speculative arguments and improve overall efficiency.
Key metrics such as cancer-specific survival, short- and long-term side effects, and patient-reported outcomes provide vital insights into care effectiveness. Elham also highlights the importance of education and prevention, as emphasized in the EU Cancer Plan, to foster a deeper understanding among the general population and further improve outcomes.
This video aligns closely with the principles outlined in the All.Can Action Guide for Efficient Cancer Care, offering practical strategies to address inefficiencies and deliver more personalized, equitable care. By translating real-world challenges and innovations into actionable insights, the video serves as a powerful resource for advancing the global conversation on cancer care efficiency.
Through a series of interviews, All.Can aims to amplify the voices of patients and clinicians, transforming their insights into impactful digital advocacy materials. This initiative seeks to make cancer care efficiency not just an abstract concept, but a tangible, actionable goal for healthcare systems worldwide.
