2024 – 2028

European Commission — EU4Health Programme (EU4H) 

WP3

WP3 develops and implements an evaluation framework for the JA EUnetCCC and EU network of CCCs in collaboration with coordinators and WP leaders. This framework includes four tracks covering KPIs & monitoring, process & output evaluation, outcome & impact evaluation and learning, feedback & dissemination. WP3 develops and maintains a dashboard to provide stakeholders with evaluation data.

WP3 manages and collects data including KPIs, satisfaction surveys, co-creation workshop outcomes, and interviews, and will also explore evaluation data produced by other WPs. WP3 also develops and monitors Indicators to measure the impact of JA. Data will be analysed to provide feedback, track progress, offer insights to guide strategic planning, identify areas requiring enhancement, and assess the project's effectiveness

Each year WP3 publishes an evaluation report to present key findings actionable recommendations. WP3 also advises on future strategies to improve the effectiveness of the EU network of CCCs based on evaluation insights. Key insights will also be published in scientific journals

WP4

Lillebaelt Hospital is part of the first wave of pilot cancer centers under work package 4 (sustainability). 

As a Pilot cancer center, Lillebaelt hospital acts as a field test for the Comprehensive cancer center certification process. This process consists of evaluating and implementing the EunetCCC set of criteria and standards – developing and implementing institutional capacity as needed, in order to live up to the standards required for certification. 

Along the way, feedback is delivered to work package 4 trough monthly and yearly reports, describing the capacity building process in detail, including successes and challenges encountered in the process – and how challenges were resolved.  At the end of the pilot process, lasting approximately 18-24 months, the collective knowledge from the pilots will be shared by work package 4, serving as guidance for future cancer centers undergoing CCC certification. 

As a pilot center, Lillebaelt hospital can also participate in knowledge exchange activities arranged by work package 4 and other work packages, as well as testing of tools and frameworks developed withing the EUnetCCC Joint Action.
