Integrated care pathways enhance sarcoma treatment efficiency

A digital platform, ShapeHub, is proposed to streamline sarcoma care by integrating patient data across multiple healthcare providers. The initiative aims to address care fragmentation that often leads to delays and redundant testing. In a case study within the Swiss sarcoma network, ShapeHub demonstrated significant improvements in diagnostic pathways, decreased unplanned surgeries, and optimized radiotherapy protocols. By transforming unstructured records into real-time insights, the platform enhances multidisciplinary collaboration and supports the goals of value-based healthcare.
