MONTREAL, March 17, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ - The Quebec Heart and Lung Institute at Université Laval is a model of care according to the Conference Board of Canada, which conducted a study for the Quebec Cancer Coalition on optimizing lung cancer care for better patient outcomes. The conclusion was clear: The Institute s approach is more effective and quicker, thereby optimizing the lung cancer patient care pathway and potentially improving survival rates. Because its process is more efficient, it is also less costly to the health system compared to non-specialized centres. By optimizing pathology, the Institute drives value in health care.
