• Project Manager: ACT-NOW (Anti-Cancer Treatment - Nationally Organised Workstreams) Programme

  • Jan 2020 - Present

  ACT-NOW is a multi-year programme to enhance nationally collected chemotherapy data, analysis and reporting capabilities. The medical oncology and haematology community have a need to access information about patient care in a similar way as the radiation oncology community has achieved with the national Radiation Oncology Collection (ROC). ACT-NOW will establish the infrastructure and supporting processes to capture detailed and structured treatment data from chemotherapy providers, and use this data with stakeholders to produce intelligence that will serve as a basis for decision-making that will improve equity, clinical quality and resource utilisation. ACT-NOW is a key initiative contributing towards Te Aho o Te Kahu's mission to improve outcomes for people with cancer and eliminate outcome inequities by 2030, as outlined in the New Zealand Cancer Action Plan 2019-2029.
