Abstract
The General Hospital of Šibenik-Knin County started with oncology coordination in October 2023, and here we would like to present our experiences so far. The Ethics Committee of the Šibenik-Knin County General Hospital approved the research. Retrospectively, using the hospital's information system, persons for whom oncological coordination was performed in the period from October 2023 to April 2025 were identified. Also, additional improvement of services and methods of operation of oncology coordinators is necessary to improve the journey of oncology and oncology-suspected patients through the healthcare system of the Republic of Croatia.
