Patient satisfaction and quality of life in cancer outpatients: results of the PASQOC* study

Abstract

Satisfaction with care and quality of life (QoL) are indicative of the quality of care of cancer patients. The purpose of this study was to lay a cornerstone for patient-centred quality management by assessing the current status of satisfaction with care and QoL among oncological outpatients in Germany, and by identifying the key factors that determine a patient’s willingness to recommend a medical facility.
