The NAoPri Quality Improvement Plan describes the approach taken across the NATCAN cancer audits to develop improvement goals and performance indicators / metrics, aiming for these to be measurable, actionable and improvable.

The NAoPri Quality Improvement goals, developed following a thorough scoping exercise in 2023 and in consultation with stakeholders in the Audit Advisory Committee, are as follows:

1. Improve the movement of patients through the care pathway.
2. Reduce unwarranted variation for patients undergoing surgery.
3. Reduce unwarranted variation for patients having non-surgical oncological treatments.
4. Improve access to breast reconstruction after mastectomy.
5. Improve and reduce unwarranted variation in primary breast cancer outcomes.

The NAoPri has identified ten indicators / metrics to monitor progress against these five improvement goals and how they map to clinical guidelines and standards. A range of improvement methods and improvement activities to help deliver the Quality Improvement Plan are also described.
