Implementation

Cycle I

The challenge

Clinical laboratory services in Rosario continue to develop, and further strengthen structural and organisational capacities to enhance their contribution to cancer diagnosis and management.
Human resource capacity and specialised training in oncological biochemistry represent important areas for reinforcement, including the expansion of formal training and postgraduate development opportunities.
Service portfolios and operational criteria vary across institutions, and greater alignment could support more integrated and consistent diagnostic provision.
Further consensus on essential oncological studies, testing methodologies, and reference values would facilitate standardisation and clinical integration.
Digitalisation and interoperability capacities are evolving, and additional investment in shared information systems could improve the integration of laboratory results into patient care pathways.
Quality management frameworks are implemented with varying degrees of maturity across laboratories, and further harmonisation of performance standards, including support for international accreditation processes, represents a key opportunity for system strengthening.

The goal

To improve the quality and coherence of cancer diagnosis in Rosario by analysing the technical capacity of clinical laboratories and consolidating a standardised, accessible portfolio of key oncological tests.

The How

Conducting a situational assessment of public and private clinical laboratories in Rosario with a focus on oncology diagnostics.
Mapping available diagnostic practices, methodologies, reference values, and quality standards across institutions.
Identifying technical gaps and inconsistencies in the current laboratory service offering.
Developing a standardised, updatable database of oncological laboratory services.
Supporting the harmonisation of results and integration of laboratory data into the oncology patient journey.

Outputs
