CoC Objectives
• Establish standards to ensure quality, multidisciplinary, and
comprehensive cancer care delivery in healthcare settings
• Conduct surveys in healthcare settings to assess compliance
with those standards
• Collect and use data to monitor treatment patterns and
outcomes and enhance cancer control and clinical surveillance
activities
• Provide access to data for cancer programs to use for quality
improvement, administrative purposes, and for research
• Provide resources to cancer programs and provide effective
educational interventions to improve cancer prevention, early
detection, care delivery, and outcomes in healthcare settings
Historical Timeline of the COC
• 1930 – Standards for cancer clinics developed
• 1933 – Initial group of 140 facilities accredited
• 2012 – Currently accredit over 1500 facilities in all 50 states

The Future of Quality Cancer Care
Survivorship Care Plan
• Why do we need this new standard?
– 12 Million Americans “Living” with cancer
– 1 in 10 American Households have at least one
person who has been diagnosed with cancer in the
last 5 years
– Cancer is a lifelong diagnosis with lasting effects
• Often emotional, physical, psychosocial effects
Why do we need survivorship care plans and treatment summaries?
Why do we need survivorship care plans and treatment summaries?
Why do we need survivorship care plans and treatment summaries?
Why do we need survivorship care plans and treatment summaries?
How comfortable the primary
care physician is managing
late health effects and
transition issues
How often the primary
care physician received
treatment summaries of
their patients with cancer
Survivorship Care Plans
“The challenge in overcoming cancer is not
only to find therapies that will prevent or arrest
the disease quickly, but also to map the middle
ground of survivorship and minimize its medical
and social hazards”
Fitzhugh Mullan, MD
Cancer Survivor

New England Journal of Medicine, 1985;313:270-273
Patient’s Perspective
• Right to have a record and understand treatment
received
• Right to know what happens after treatment
• Follow-up recommendations
• Potential late effects of treatment
• Right to know what life will be like after treatment
– How to stay healthy, symptom recognition
– Medical, psychosocial and financial issues
– Available resources

Survivorship Care Plan
2006 IOM Report
“From Cancer Patient to Survivor-Lost in Transition”
– Identified specific needs for patients completing treatment
– Survivors ‘lost in transition’ due to lack of awareness of
survivor needs
– Fragmented and poorly coordinated care between providers
Survivorship Care Plan
• IOM report called for written summaries of care
that should include:
–
–
–
–
Expected course of recovery from treatment
Schedule of recommended follow-up screenings
Information on possible signs of recurrence
List of recommendations for psychosocial support and
behavioral interventions for health promotion and
disease prevention
Survivorship Care Plan
• S 3.3: “The cancer committee develops and
implements a process to disseminate a
comprehensive care summary and follow-up
plan to 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.”
3.3 - Survivorship Care Plan
• Process Requirements
– Plan is provided by principal provider(s) who
coordinated treatment, with input from other care
providers
– Plan is given to patient upon completion of
treatment
– Plan contains record of care received to include:
• Disease characteristics
• Follow up care plan including recognized evidencebased standards of care
• Minimum standards included in IOM fact sheet
Survivorship Care Plans
Barriers to Care Plans
• Lack of awareness of need for care plans
• Lack of time to complete
• Lack of reimbursement
• Not required
Problems with current approach to care plans
• Not standardized
• Focus only on cancer surveillance
• Lack of research/validation
Survivorship Care Plans

•
Important elements of care plans
Specific tissue diagnosis and stage
Initial treatment plan and dates of treatment
Toxicities during treatment
Expected short/long-term effects of therapy
Late toxicity monitoring needs
Surveillance for recurrence or 2nd cancers
Who is responsible for survivorship care?
Psychosocial and vocational needs
Recommended preventive behaviors and
interventions

SUMMARY
• Addressing cancer patient survivors’ needs is an essential
part of providing high quality, modern oncology care
• Survivors need and want treatment care plans and
summaries
• Many resources are available for survivorship care plans
but the key is getting these implemented by cancer
programs and into the hands of cancer survivors
• The new COC standard 3.3 on survivorship care plans
will assure that all accredited cancer programs begin
to implement care plans
