Loud work gets measured.
Essential work gets assumed

Coordination in cancer care has never been in a dataset. Until today.

The lived experience

"I don't know if someone's doing it. So I'm probably going to do it just in case."

"Coordination failures in oncology are framed as communication issues. In my experience they are structural workflow problems."

"When the table wobbles, we blame the person who leans on it."

These are not quotes from a report. They are from cancer care professionals in seven countries describing the same invisible pattern.

What the Study is revealing

People completing the Cancer Care Coordination Study arrive naming one dimension as their team's core coordination challenge. Several leave naming a different one.

The assessment does not change what they know. It changes what they can see. The problems people experience and what drives those problems are often not the same thing. That gap has never been measured before.

Something else is emerging. Where institutional infrastructure is thin, the coordination load concentrates in individuals. A palliative care specialist carries seven coordination tasks without a single one formally recognised. In a senior academic centre, those same tasks are distributed across a team that has never been asked to see them.

The pattern is consistent. The load is real. The system that depends on it has never had a way to name it.

Ten minutes. That is what it takes to add your perspective.

Why this work is invisible

Nobody designs coordination into cancer care. It is inherited. Every specialisation, every new protocol, every AI tool adds complexity. The coordination that holds it together is absorbed by the people closest to the gaps. It runs on informal knowledge, personal relationships, and workarounds accumulated over years. It has no job description, no dataset, no line in any governance framework.

When it works, nobody notices. When it fails, the expertise and the data are still there. The system simply cannot move.

The people who design clinical workflows are not the people who absorb the demands those workflows create. That distance is where coordination capacity lives and where it breaks.

This is not a communication problem with a training solution. It is a structural gap that has never been named as such.

What Nexus Recognita is doing about it

Nexus Recognita is a research and methodology organisation focused on coordination capacity in cancer care teams. We study how it works, where it breaks, and what makes it developable.

The Cancer Care Coordination Study is the first systematic measurement of coordination capacity across cancer care roles and settings. It is live, with respondents across seven countries and disciplines. Findings will be submitted to ESMO/EONS Congress 2026.

The Coordination Roundtable Series is a monthly conversation on the coordination challenges that do not appear in clinical guidelines. No pitch. No agenda beyond the conversation. The next roundtable is May 21, 2026.

The Shift is an 8-week individual development programme for cancer care professionals ready to work on coordination capacity inside their own sphere of influence. It produces colleague-verified change, not self-reported insight.

About us

Nexus Recognita was founded by István Borbíró, PhD, and Corina Richter.

Between them: years inside cancer care, medical communications, organisational development, and system design. They built this because the same coordination pattern kept repeating across countries and institutions.

Nobody measured it. Now someone does.
