“…(13) Patients who are referred on their own request or based on their own request are patients who are referred based on medical indications but there are also those who are based on their own request due to limited infrastructure at the Public Health center. (10) One factor that causes the high demand for patients to get a referral themselves because they feel they are getting more optimal service at the hospital. This proves their confidence to get services at the health center as a First Level Health Facility (FTKP) decreased and also there are some patients who have had medical treatment before at the hospital doctor asking to be referred to get the same doctor's services in the RS or known by the term referral deposit.…”

The highest number of referrals in 13 public health centers in Palu City in 2019, namely the Birobulipublic health center with the highest number of per quarter I 1384 and in the second quarter as many as 1172 cases. Type of Research is a qualitative case study approach. The research informants were 7 informants. The results showed that the communication variable between the implementers was quite good in implementing the referral system but sometimes it was not consistent, there were no meetings or meetings to discuss reference standards or referral issues. In terms of infrastructure, resources are good, there is still a lack of medical personnel, there is no training regarding referral standards. The Implementers' attitude/disposition and knowledge of medical personnel about the referral system are good. Standard Operational Procedures already exist but have not been socialized in every public health center.

An effective referral system ensures that there is a close relationship among all levels of health care, and individuals can receive the best possible care. The main purpose of the present study was to summarize studies that have addressed factors affecting the successful implementation of the referral system. A scoping review was performed to identify English and Farsi papers that were indexed in PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, Trip Database, Cochrane Library, Embase, Google Scholar, SID, and Magiran until November 2020. Data was collected from the included studies by a reviewer and was checked by a second reviewer the collected data was analyzed using narrative methods. About 1245 relevant studies were identified in the first stage. After checking titles and abstracts, 63 studies were included. The factors that affected the referral system were classified in 4 themes and fourteen subthemes including technology (electronic referral, coordination, response and feedback), processes (effectiveness, efficiency), organizational (management, policy and planning, rules and regulations), patient centered individual (insurance coverage, social capital, transportation, awareness, attitude, satisfaction, and social influence). Therefore, a wide range of factors are affecting the performance of referral systems. For implementing an effective referral system, it is necessary to consider these factors.

International Guidelines as well as Cancer Associations recommend a multidisciplinary approach to lung cancer care. A multidisciplinary team (MDT) can significantly improve treatment decision-making and patient coordination by putting different physicians and other health professionals “in the same room”, who collectively decide upon the best possible treatment. However, this is not a panacea for cancer treatment. The impact of multidisciplinary care (MDC) on patient outcomes is not univocal, while the effective functioning of the MDT depends on many factors. This review presents the available MDT literature with an emphasis on the key factors that characterize high-quality patient care in lung cancer. The study was conducted with a bibliographic search using different electronic databases (PubMed Central, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Google) referring to multidisciplinary cancer care settings. Many key elements appear consolidated, while others emerge as prevalent and actual, especially those related to visible barriers which work across geographic, organizational, and disciplinary boundaries. MDTs must be sustained by strategic management, structured within the entity, and cannot be managed as a separate care process. Furthermore, they need to coordinate with other teams (within and outside the organization) and join with the broad range of services delivered by multiple providers at various points of the cancer journey or within the system, with the vision of integrated care.
