The purpose of this study was to evaluate the perception of the quality of care, considering both patient experience and health care professionals’ perceptions as well as patient outcome measures of an integrated lung cancer pathway.    Methods:  A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2016 at Ferrara University Hospital, Italy. OPportunity for Treatment In ONcology (OPTION) questionnaires were administered to 77 patients, and the Care Process Self-Evaluation Tool (CPSET) questionnaires were given to 38 health care professionals. The effectiveness of the pathway was evaluated by analysing the tool’s positive impact on lung cancer surgery volume and 30-day mortality.    Results:  Seventy-seven patients were enrolled, and 38 health care professionals assessed the CPSET questionnaire. The highest scores were related to “respect” (100%), “satisfaction” (98.7%), and “trust” (97.4%) on the OPTION and to “patient-focused vision” (97.2%) and “patient engagement” (94.4%) on the CPSET. The lowest scores were related to “information” (26%) and “cooperation with general practitioner” (17.6%) on the OPTION and “cooperation between the hospital and primary care” (23.5%) for the CPSET. The outcomes analysis shows an increase in the volume of activity and a decrease in 30-day mortality after pathway implementation.    Discussion:  The lung cancer pathway is a patient-centred intervention that enables care to be shaped for patient needs in order to improve the quality and efficiency of service and clinical outcome.
