Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Increasing the proportion of patients of Turkish origin presenting at the University Cancer Center Hamburg (UCC Hamburg) from approx. 1% to 4%. The number of patients with a Turkish migration background at the University Cancer Center Hamburg (UCC Hamburg) is assessed at regular intervals. As part of this analysis, we examine how many Turkish-speaking patients have utilized the various consultation services at UCC Hamburg. Methodology: Prior to the introduction of the patient navigation consultation, an initial cross-sectional survey was conducted. This survey will be repeated at defined intervals throughout the project to enable a pre-post comparison. The final evaluation of key outcomes will be carried out as part of the project's final work package (Work Package 4).	—
