Abstract

The Prostate Cancer Center at Capio S:t Göran hospital is located in Stockholm and offers testing for prostate cancer. The pathway applies task shifting from doctors to nurses and new and innovative test methods, and leverages digitalization opportunities to enable a cost-efficient pathway with high specificity and sensitivity. In this article, we describe our experiences of the Capio S:t Göran Model.
