Funded by: Danish Cancer Society | The Novo Nordisk Foundation Outline  The ‘primary care convention’  Cancer survival caused surprise  The ecologic study  The perspectives

Funded by: Danish Cancer Society | The Novo Nordisk Foundation Primary Care Convention  The ’General Practitioner’ doing ’Family Medicine’  a person-centred approach,  a unique consultation process, a relationship over time,  provide longitudinal continuity of care  Position in the healthcare system  first point of contact, open and unlimited access,  makes efficient use of healthcare resources…, managing the interface with other specialities...

Funded by: Danish Cancer Society | The Novo Nordisk Foundation ‘We are essential’ - we learn and teach  Positive effects of being special:  the consultation and relationship - the continuity  focus on the person and not the disease  ensure access, equality, community-based and patient near  efficient and cost-effective Guthrie B, et al.

Funded by: Danish Cancer Society | The Novo Nordisk Foundation ’The gatekeeper invention’  Precise point of entry and first contact  Right to refer to specialist treatment  Guidance, continuity and communication  Rationing and efficiency

Funded by: Danish Cancer Society | The Novo Nordisk Foundation A total health care system- integration : - the GP should be perfect in the inverted T - quality: balance in the inverted T  Vertical – towards the hospital  Horisontal – PHC team general practice Hospital Familie etc.Social care etc.

Funded by: Danish Cancer Society | The Novo Nordisk Foundation The question - do we fail in the vertical part?

Funded by: Danish Cancer Society | The Novo Nordisk Foundation Have we ignored something?  The principle of a strong primary care sector, i.e. with general practice as gatekeeper, as first point of contact and with a list system, has documented advantages  However, are there adverse consequences?  Is the GP a ‘hostage’ in rationing care and in keeping waiting lists short?  Is it so difficult to refer that the threshold gets too high?  What is the consequence of the relation and repeated contact?

Funded by: Danish Cancer Society | The Novo Nordisk Foundation The ecologic study  Is there an association between the organisation of general practice and the relative one-year cancer survival?  Data included:  The relative one-year survival for 42 cancers in 19 countries 1  The organisation of general practice (gatekeeper, list system, first point of contact) 2,3  Analysis:  Median survival, composite survival index 1: Møller H et al.

Are the serious problems in cancer survival partly rooted in gatekeeper principles? Submitted

Funded by: Danish Cancer Society | The Novo Nordisk Foundation Conclusion  Cancer is common, and most patients present with symptoms  Primary care is essential in early cancer diagnosis  Does the organisation with general practice as gatekeeper, as first point of contact and with a list system result in:  5-7% lower one-year survival in cancer?  2,000 lost person-years in Denmark each year?  We need to know! And if so – WHY?

Funded by: Danish Cancer Society | The Novo Nordisk Foundation Conclusion II: Have we ignored something?  Are there adverse consequences of gatekeeping?  Is the GP a ‘hostage’ in rationing care and in keeping waiting lists short?  Is it so difficult to refer that the threshold gets too high?  What is the consequence of the relation and repeated contact?  Even if a strong front line gives the best system  We must investigate side effects  Is gatekeeping the problem – not the strong front line?
