Survivorship Care Planning

The American Cancer Society is hosting a webinar on Survivorship Care Planning next Tuesday, November 11, 2014, from 1:00-2:30 p.m. With the deadline looming for ACoS CoC-accredited cancer centers to be compliant with Standard 3.3, many cancer centers are unsure of how to implement this standard, or even where to begin. Pearlman Cancer Center is honored to be a presenter on the webinar panel. We've been offering survivorship treatment summaries and care plans to our patients since early 2012. We'll talk about our experience in creating and delivering these documents and how they fit into a broader, more comprehensive survivorship program. We've tried several models for meeting this standard, so we have a sense of what works and what doesn't. Other presenters include representatives from the ACS, ACoS CoC, and another CoC-accredited cancer center. There will be an opportunity for questions after the presentations and the entire session will be available for viewing on YouTube for those who missed it. I'll post a link to the recorded session when it's available. Here's a link to register for the webinar, although it may already be closed out. https://acsevents.webex.com/acsevents/onstage/g.php?d=660933279&t=a. At last update, there were over 1300 registered. This topic has generated such interest, there may be an encore live webinar in a couple of months. Tune in if you can, or catch the recorded session.
