It is funded through billing the place of residence of the patient, which is based on Finnish legislation. Scientific research, teaching and training is produced through the University Health Campus Turku collaboration. Its support services are produced at the Turku Clinical Research Centre (TurkuCRC), the Hospital District of Southwest Finland, the Centre for Clinical Informatics and research ward unit, and Auria Biobank as well as the Centre for Biotechnology, Central Animal Laboratory and Turku Centre for Disease Modelling at the University of Turku. The basic costs of research are divided between the contracting parties and supported by external research funding. Concrete targets 1. The Cancer Centre aims to integrate cancer treatment in the west coast area. The target is to create common treatment chains, indicators for the quality of care, and a common follow-up of access to treatment. The website of the Cancer Centre will contain information for the patient, next of kin, staff, researchers and cooperation partners. 2. The Cancer Centre coordinates the cancer research in the Turku University Hospital expert responsibility area and secures the progress and funding of research as well as the swift and efficient transfer of information received from research and innovations into practical patient care. 3. The Cancer Centre integrates and develops the cooperation in teaching. Concrete measures for how to reach the targets The implementation of the Cancer Centre's strategy progresses by tasks that are a) to secure a functional organisation between the contracting parties (operating model, resourcing, facilities, data administration, research, teaching and training as well as communication) b) to apply for membership and status at the OECI (Organization of European Cancer Institute), and to initialize the accreditation process c) to collaborate nationally and to function as the western coordination centre for FICAN (Finland Cancer Center) 2 TYKS CANCER CENTRE STRATEGY 2017 The operational units of the contracting parties of the Cancer Centre participate in the implementation of the strategy, and the annual follow-up of the accomplishment of the targets. A steering group for the follow-up of the implementation of the strategy will be established. 3
