Résumé
This analysis presents the outcomes of the operations of the National Cancer Network (NCN) pilot project in Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland, for lung cancer for the period of 2019-2021. The results concerning measures of the quality of medical processes were analysed. Twenty-one measures used to gauge the quality of oncological care for lung cancer were assessed. Data collection and processing for the purpose of calculating the measures were carried out as part of the NCN pilot project based on the Regulation of the Ministry of Health enacted on 13 December 2018. The measures were calculated at the Voivodeship Coordination Center, and the data were derived from the centres included in the network in the area of the analysed voivodeship. A total of 3,638 patients diagnosed with lung cancer were enrolled in the NCN pilot program during the analysed period. For 3 measures, out of 21, target values were obtained. For 2 measures, the values differed significantly from the assumed target value. In our opinion, the NCN pilot study, as a test of the network's functioning, meets the assumed goal. The NCN assessment is based on, inter alia, analysis of the outcomes of oncological quality of care measures for lung cancer, and facilitates monitoring of the quality of medical services provided and the identification of areas for improvement. In addition, the pilot program, which will last until the end of 2022, will allow for further in-depth analysis regarding the network's limitations before implementing the system on a national scale in Poland. This will be the subject of further investigation.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
This analysis presents the outcomes of the operations of the National Cancer Network (NCN) pilot project in Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland, for lung cancer for the period of 2019-2021. The results concerning measures of the quality of medical processes were analysed.
METHODS
METHODS
Twenty-one measures used to gauge the quality of oncological care for lung cancer were assessed. Data collection and processing for the purpose of calculating the measures were carried out as part of the NCN pilot project based on the Regulation of the Ministry of Health enacted on 13 December 2018. The measures were calculated at the Voivodeship Coordination Center, and the data were derived from the centres included in the network in the area of the analysed voivodeship.
RESULTS
RESULTS
A total of 3,638 patients diagnosed with lung cancer were enrolled in the NCN pilot program during the analysed period. For 3 measures, out of 21, target values were obtained. For 2 measures, the values differed significantly from the assumed target value.
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSIONS
In our opinion, the NCN pilot study, as a test of the network's functioning, meets the assumed goal. The NCN assessment is based on, inter alia, analysis of the outcomes of oncological quality of care measures for lung cancer, and facilitates monitoring of the quality of medical services provided and the identification of areas for improvement. In addition, the pilot program, which will last until the end of 2022, will allow for further in-depth analysis regarding the network's limitations before implementing the system on a national scale in Poland. This will be the subject of further investigation.
