Core Tip
Core tip: Innovative managerial frameworks have to be put into practice when treating severe diseases. Relational Coordination makes possible to enhance inter-level knowledge networks to obtain better outcomes from the perspective of the National Health System and the patients. Through systematic revision, it has been checked that only in the fields of Endocrinology and Psychiatry have these frameworks been applied. This model tries to establish a coordinative solution within the field of Oncology, implementing the Theory of Relational Coordination as a tool to get optimal results in lung cancer.
