Abstract
Background:
The European Commission Initiative on Breast Cancer (ECIBC) aims to ensure quality and equality of breast cancer care across Europe. The ECIBC web hub is the web portal offering ECIBC's information and tools (URL: http://ecibc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/).
Objectives:
To offer:
1) most up-to-date evidence-based recommendations presented and tailored for three different user profiles;
2) tailored tools to collect and display information and data;
3) interactive and continuously updated mapping of breast cancer services adhering to the European Breast Quality Assurance (QA) scheme;
Methods:
The ECIBC web hub is envisaged to contain documents, tools, mapped results and relevant information regarding breast cancer screening and care in a user-centred environment.
Results:
The ECIBC web hub will offer a complete user-centred journey to three different user profiles. It includes:
1) navigation through the web-based European Breast Guidelines developed with GRADE, using GRADEpro, and the complete Evidence-to-Decision frameworks (EtDs) offering the systematic and transparent process from evidence to decision;
2) the Guidelines Platform collecting international trustworthy guidelines from treatment to palliative care;
3) the person-centred European Breast QA scheme's quality requirements underpinned by evidence.
Content is adapted and visualised for three user profiles: individual/patient, healthcare professional, and policymaker.
Conclusions:
Since its launch in December 2015, the ECIBC web hub has passed through restyling of its general appearance, as well as several revisions of its content and navigation ease. It is increasingly visited and acknowledged by stakeholders as the communication interface to access ECIBC’s deliverables and to engage in online open calls.
Patient or healthcare consumer involvement:
Patients are members of the two expert panels of ECIBC and are active peers along the entire ECIBC development process. Citizens are encouraged to comment and provide their feedback on the web hub as well as to contribute to online open calls.
