Medical Care Sector
At the Institute of Oncology Ljubljana, organization and performance of medical care are considered as two separate sections.
The organization of medical care follows the provisions as laid down in the Statute of the Institute, specifying that the medical care at the Institute of Oncology Ljubljana is performed at the following seven divisions:
- Division of Diagnostics
- Division of Surgery
- Division of Radiation Oncology
- Division of Medical Oncology
- Rehabilitation
- Nursing and Care
- Pharmacy
Its performance is intended to the care of the patients in in- and outpatient departments of the Institute. The most recent approaches to the management of a cancer patient require that the diagnostics is carried out on an outpatient basis, and that several days long hospitalizations are shortened to one-day hospitalization by giving therapies to the patients in the day clinics or outpatients departments. The multidisciplinary approach to cancer patients may thus facilitate the reorganization of hospital divisions by diagnosis (e.g. patients with gastrointestinal tumors) rather than by the type of treatment (e.g. irradiation, systemic treatment).
