Given tobacco's role in causing cancer, they decided to create an entity and program with the mission of making Georgia a national leader in cancer prevention, treatment, and research. This new entity--called the Georgia Cancer Coalition, Inc. (GCC)-- and the state of Georgia subsequently began implementing a far-reaching state cancer initiative that includes five strategic goals: (1) preventing cancer and detecting existing cancers earlier; (2) improving access to quality care for all state residents with cancer; (3) saving more lives in the future; (4) training future cancer researchers and caregivers; and (5) turning the eradication of cancer into economic growth for Georgia. Assessing the Quality of Cancer Care identifies a set of measures that could be used to gauge Georgia's progress in improving the quality of its cancer services and in reducing cancer-related morbidity and mortality. 606 $aCancer$xPatients$xCare$zGeorgia$xQuality control$xMeasurement 606 $aCancer$zGeorgia$xPrevention$xQuality control$xMeasurement 606 $aCancer$xDiagnosis$zGeorgia$xQuality control$xMeasurement 606 $aCancer$xTreatment$zGeorgia$xQuality control$xMeasurement 606 $aOutcome assessment (Medical care)$zGeorgia 615 0$aCancer$xPatients$xCare$xQuality control$xMeasurement. 615 0$aCancer$xPrevention$xQuality control$xMeasurement. 615 0$aCancer$xDiagnosis$xQuality control$xMeasurement. 615 0$aCancer$xTreatment$xQuality control$xMeasurement. 615 0$aOutcome assessment (Medical care) 676 $a362.196/994/009758 701 $aEden$b Jill$01804887 701 $aSimone$b Joseph V$01804481 712 02$aNational Cancer Policy Board (U.S.).$bCommittee on Assessing Improvements in Cancer Care in Georgia. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910958423903321 996 $aAssessing the quality of cancer care$94368938 997 $aUNINA
