Impact of assigned care providers on involvement, information, and emotional support to cancer patients
An assigned care provider is important for maintaining continuity of care. This should be encouraged in cancer care as it leads to better patient experience across all investigated domains. The widely spread use of contact nurses in cancer care in Sweden provides a solid ground for such continuity. The continuous use of patient-reported experience measures promotes more people-centered healthcare practices.
