Coordination Models for Cancer Care in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The coordination of cancer care among multiple providers is vital to improve care quality and ensure desirable health outcomes across the cancer continuum, yet evidence is scarce of this being optimally achieved in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

Objective

Through this scoping review, our objective was to understand the scope of cancer care coordination interventions and services employed in LMICs, in order to synthesise the existing evidence and identify key models and their elements used to manage and/or improve cancer care coordination in these settings.

Methods

A detailed search strategy was conducted, aligned with the framework of Arksey and O'Malley. Articles were examined for evidence of coordination interventions used in cancer care in LMI
