NORDSCREEN

NORDSCEEN (Interactive joint NORDic database on performance and outcome indicators of cervical cancer SCREENing) aims to develop a publicly available web-based interactive tool/application to access standardised, and as far as possible, evidence-based, performance and outcome indicators of cervical cancer screening, based upon up-to-date Nordic cancer screening register data. The project will develop and implement a standardised set of readily available key performance and outcome indicators, and a set of scripts for standardised retrieval of the required data items from the different collaborating screening registers. This will greatly ease the provision of relevant and tailored data to decision-makers, the press, and screening providers (as exemplified by NORDCAN and GLOBOCAN in the field of cancer burden).
