The Global Metrics and Performance Unit develops concepts and tools to promote equity and scale up effective interventions in global pediatric oncology. We aim to accelerate progress toward our shared vision of a cure and high-quality care for all children with cancer.
The Metrics program draws from various methodologies, including social epidemiology, health services research, quality improvement and implementation science, and design thinking. The approach emphasizes end-user empowerment to build local expertise in metrics and performance, and, as a community of experts, it generates global standards, feasible targets and meaningful benchmarks in global pediatric oncology.
The program equips care teams and institutions with the tools to measure inequities, evaluate causes, transform thinking, respond promptly to identified gaps, innovate, and continually improve health care services in their settings.
The scope of our work includes developing concepts and tools, identifying challenges amenable to quality improvement or the application of implementation science, maintaining a research agenda on the role of nonbiologic factors and supporting St. Jude Global’s regional and transversal programs. Some of our ongoing initiatives are:
