Maintaining quality and improving cancer care does not occur in a
vacuum. It requires a coordinated effort among many team members to
whom this book is directed. Cancer care in the United States is in
crisis as per a recent National Institute of Health publication.
Much of this has to do with the complexity of the cancer care, its
delivery systems, the aging population and the diminishing
workforce. We need to be smarter and more efficient to de-escalate
this crisis and improve the survival and survivorship of our cancer
patients. Improved survivorship of families and caregivers will be
included as well. The book will follow the continuum of cancer care
model as its outline vide infra. It will provide many concrete
instances of successful practices and programs which improve
survivorship. Initially it will discuss the current crisis on a
global and then national platform. There will be a discussion about
disability adjusted life years lost, lost productivity, loss of
life and its impact upon the nation and communities. The financial
impact of cancer on society and government will be included in
this. Population health management as regards cancer will then look
at communities served, community health needs assessments and
social determinants of health. How prevention and screening
programs can be formulated from the above will be illustrated.
Compliance with treatments as promulgated by the Commission on
Cancer's Cancer Program Practice Performance Reports (CP3R) will be
reviewed. The relationship between compliance and improved survival
will be highlighted. Navigation and distress management to assure
patients complete planned treatments will be included in this
section. Quality of survivorship will review the four domains of
life- spiritual, social, psychological and physical. How these can
be maximized through system improvement and program development
will be illustrated. Financial issues and legal protections will
also be included in this section. Survivorship care planning i.e.
surveillance for recurrent cancer, prevention of related and new
cancers will be an integral part of this section. Palliative, end
of life care and bereavement care will complete the continuum
cycle. Identifying hospitalized patients in need of palliative
needs will be refreshed. How to establish an in-patient palliative
care team and creating a seamless transition from in-patient to
out-patient palliative care will be presented. Intended
AudienceAdministrative and clinical staff involved in the delivery
of cancer care including: hospital executives, physicians, nurses,
radiation therapists, psychology counselors, social workers,
physical therapists, occupation therapists, nutritionists,
government, healthcare insurance representatives, etc.
