Researchers and clinicians have sought the best ways to implement survivorship care plans (SCPs) after cancer treatment. Despite the strong consensus-based recommendation by the Institute of Medicine and other influential stakeholders, limited evaluation data continue to be a barrier to successful implementation of the guideline.
The authors reveal how they were able to increase the number of identified barriers to care for their oncology patients.
A 26-bed solid tumor oncology unit saw consistently low patient-satisfaction scores regarding education and discharge preparedness. Managers and staff wanted to improve patient education, without adding to the workflow of bedside nurses with a 4:1 patient/nurse ratio on a unit with rising acuity. Here’s how they approached the problem.
A study of unmet needs of cancer survivors and the role of their survivorship programs.
