I dessa sv\u00e5ra tider m\u00e5ste vi ocks\u00e5 kunna unna oss lite goda och gl\u00e4djande nyheter.<\/p>\n

Karolinska Institutet har, tillsammans med Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset, blivit f\u00f6rst i Sverige med att ackrediteras som Comprehensive Cancer Center.<\/em> Det \u00e4r organisationen f\u00f6r Europas cancerinstitut (Organisations of European Cancer Institutes, OECI) som bed\u00f6mer och fattar beslut om denna ackreditering, som \u00e4r ytterligare ett bevis f\u00f6r den h\u00f6ga niv\u00e5 KI och Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset h\u00e5ller n\u00e4r det g\u00e4ller forskning, utbildning, v\u00e5rd och behandling om och av cancer.<\/p>\n

H\u00f6gsta kvalitet<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Ackrediteringen betyder att KI tillsammans med Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset n\u00e5r h\u00f6gsta kvalitet inom allt fr\u00e5n bem\u00f6tande, prevention, diagnos, behandling, rehabilitering till forskning, undervisning och utbildning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

Denna officiella kvalitetsst\u00e4mpel \u00e4r ett resultat av ett omfattande arbete som p\u00e5g\u00e5tt sedan h\u00f6sten 2017, d\u00e5 den formella ans\u00f6kan skickades in till OECI. Sj\u00e4lva processen har inneh\u00e5llit grundliga genomlysningar av verksamheterna p\u00e5 b\u00e5de KI och p\u00e5 sjukhuset. En styrgrupp under ledning av Eva Gustafsson fr\u00e5n sjukhuset har samordnat de olika delarna och haft kontinuerlig kontakt med representanterna fr\u00e5n OECI. Ett stort antal intervjuer och andra former av dokumentation har genomf\u00f6rts. Totalt st\u00e4lldes n\u00e4stan 500 dokument samman f\u00f6r att beskriva verksamheterna.<\/p>\n

Gemensam hatt<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Ett viktigt steg i processen var n\u00e4r vi v\u00e5ren 2019 samlade all KI:s cancerforskning under en gemensam hatt: Cancer Research KI<\/a>. Det innebar en helt annan m\u00f6jlighet att skapa en helhetsbild av den omfattande verksamheten p\u00e5 KI och gav ocks\u00e5 nya impulser till mer samarbete och samverkan – n\u00e5got som ocks\u00e5 spelade in i bed\u00f6mningen f\u00f6r ackrediteringen.<\/p>\n

En annan viktig aspekt i det h\u00e4r \u00e4r naturligtvis de t\u00e4ta kontakterna med sjukhusets tema cancer. Att f\u00e5 dessa samarbeten att fungera b\u00e5de p\u00e5 kort och l\u00e5ng sikt, horisontellt och vertikalt, har varit en viktig f\u00f6ruts\u00e4ttning f\u00f6r att ans\u00f6kan skulle bifallas. Det h\u00e4r \u00e4r verkligen ett utm\u00e4rkt exempel p\u00e5 n\u00e4r samverkan mellan universitet och sjukhus fungerar f\u00f6rst\u00e4rkande \u00e5t b\u00e5da h\u00e5ll \u2013 och i slut\u00e4nden ocks\u00e5 skapar stora merv\u00e4rden f\u00f6r patienterna. Det sista \u2013 naturligtvis \u2013 det viktigaste.<\/p>\n

Koordinator fr\u00e5n KI:s sida har varit Jonas Bergh och m\u00e5nga andra fr\u00e5n b\u00e5de sjukhuset och KI har varit djupt involverade i detta arbete.<\/p>\n

Ett stort grattis till alla som varit med och gjort detta m\u00f6jligt!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Congratulations to KI and Karolinska University Hospital for accreditation as a Comprehensive Cancer Center<\/h1>\n

In these most difficult of times, we must also be able to indulge in some positive news.<\/p>\n

Karolinska Institutet, together with Karolinska University Hospital, has now became Sweden\u2019s first accredited Comprehensive Cancer Center. The Organization of European Cancer Institutes (OECI) is the official body that assesses and grants this accreditation, attesting to the quality of the cancer research, education, care and treatment that KI and Karolinska University Hospital provide.<\/p>\n

Highest quality<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This accreditation means that KI, together with Karolinska University Hospital, meets the highest quality standards in everything from patient interaction, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation to research, teaching and education.<\/p>\n

This official stamp of approval is the result of continuous efforts since autumn 2017 when the formal application was submitted to OECI. The process itself has included thorough reviews of operations at both KI and the hospital. A steering group led by Eva Gustafsson at the hospital was responsible for the coordination and continual contacts with OECI representatives. Numerous interviews were conducted and extensive reports were compiled, including nearly 500 documents describing operations.<\/p>\n

Common umbrella<\/strong><\/h4>\n

An important step was taken in spring 2019 when KI’s cancer research was organized under a common umbrella: Cancer Research KI. This step helped create an overarching view of the extensive activities at KI and strengthened ongoing collaborations. Making these collaborations work both in a short and long term perspective was an important prerequisite for the application\u2019s approval. This is an excellent example of how collaboration between universities and hospitals mutually strengthens the organizations involved \u2013 and ultimately creates added value for patients.<\/p>\n

Professor Jonas Bergh has served as coordinator on KI’s side. Numerous staff members from the hospital and KI have been deeply involved in this work.<\/p>\n

Congratulations and thanks to everyone who contributed towards the achievement of this important goal.<\/p>\n
