“The cancer committee will develop and
implement a process to disseminate a
comprehensive care summary and follow
up plan for patients with cancer who are
completing cancer treatment. The process
is monitored, evaluated, and presented at
least annually to the cancer committee and
documented in the minutes”.
*Create a template
Who will complete the template?
Who will provide and discuss with
patient?
“Plan provided by principal provider”
When does this happen?
“Upon completion of treatment”
The Cancer Committee (at least
annually) will monitor, evaluate
and discuss the survivorship
template and process of delivery
to the patient.
The template is added to the
SAR; the delivery process is
described, and the date it was
evaluated by the Cancer
Committee is noted in SAR.

Needs to be a “Living” Document
• Not usually a one-time document

Excellence conclusion:
No one process works for every system
Build it to work in your system
Patient meets one time with Survivorship
ARNP who completes template, then back to
Oncologist for appointments for life
Survivorship ARNP by disease site or by
treatment received (chemo, radiation)
Oncologist prepares SCP at last visit for
