Evaluation of functional outcomes (speech, swallowing and voice) in patients attending speech pathology after head and neck cancer treatment(s): development of a multi-centre database.
Since April 1997 , in Melbourne , Australia ,  speech pathologists have collaborated to establish a prospect i ve data base of functional outcomes of speech , swallowing and voice for patients undergoing head and neck cancer treatments . Staff at eight acute care hospitals , all of which offer speech pathology for head and neck cancer services in Victoria , are contributing data , collated central ly , in an agreed pro forma . Early results are given ( after 12 months ' data collection ) . The implication s for clinical ly-based research , and the future potential for benchmarking outcomes --by expansion of the rehabilitation data base beyond the current participating sites -- is discussed . This paper outlines the rationale of establishing the data base is multicentered , and explores some of the complexities involved , including the challenges inherent in long-term accurate data collection in the head and neck cancer patient population . This work represents the development of an appropriate , usable tool for data collection on functional outcomes
