Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Several stakeholders are implied in cancer care pathways and there is a need for coordinating their actions. New occupations of care coordination have thus emerged. However, the conditions of their efficiency have been too few reported and included discrepancies between reports. In this context, the main objective is to propose a modeling of care coordination and associated emerging occupations (nurse-based) by comparing theoretical expected outcomes to professionals, patients and caregivers representations.
