Recipe Name: | Find all patients with cancers who are more likely to have their life limited by their cancer condition |
Rationale: | Cancer is a leading cause of death in Australia and therefore patients with cancer are at higher risk of death1. Non-melanoma skin cancers, or keratinocyte cancers, are the most common cancers in Australia, however most are not life-threatening. There are two main non – melanoma types: basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) 2. Therefore these conditions are excluded from this recipe. Patients living with cancer may have palliative care needs3. This recipe assists practitioners to identify patients with potential palliative care needs.
