| 11 | Improving colorectal cancer care using a pathway approach Opportunities identified in the Colorectal Cancer The systematic 'pathway' approach to improvement helps to broaden our thinking and prioritize our efforts as health system leaders. For clinician leaders who are trained, as I was, to focus on a narrow excellence in patient care, taking system-level accountability for outcomes and value in care can be challenging. However, these health systems and this effort have shown the utility of looking at the whole pathway and the potential to find important 'value pools' where system-level improvements can and should be made. |

The pathway aligns with key service improvement priorities, including providing access to coordinated multidisciplinary care and supportive care and reducing unwanted variation in practice. |
