14 Quality of Life: Programs and Navigation Gaps Identified ❶ Need to create a consensus-based definition of a cancer survivorship program. ❷ Need to increase evidence-based survivorship programs. 14

15 The Survivorship Center Gap Filler Cancer Survivorship Program Definition The goal of a cancer survivorship program is to maximize the quality of life of survivors and their caregivers. The program should include a comprehensive set of services provided by multidisciplinary groups working together to assure effective medical care, education and emotional support. Communication between and among survivors, their caregivers and providers is essential for the seamless referral, navigation and coordination of these services. 15

16 The Survivorship Center Gap Filler Moving Beyond Patient Satisfaction: Tips to Measure Program Impact Includes and extends basic evaluation questions Participant satisfaction Program attrition Past participant referrals Evaluating program impact on quality of life Domain-specific Programs or Interventions Physical Psychological Social Spiritual 16

22 Gaps Identified Clinical Survivorship Care 1. Lack of clinical survivorship care guidelines. 2. Lack of clarity on which health care professionals should be responsible for clinical survivorship care. 3. Variations in the availability of and services provided for post-treatment survivorship care. 4. Gaps in clinical information on survivorship, education and training of health care professionals. 22

23 Guideline Development: Beginning to Fill the Gaps Target audience is primary care providers Offers comprehensive, patient-centered care Management of late/ long-term effects Psychosocial recommendations Screening, surveillance for new/recurrent cancers Prevention and routine health recommendations Coordination among specialists and PCPs Train health care provider teams on delivering survivorship care 23

24 Guideline Development Phase 1: Gathered draft guideline content from survivorship experts based on clinical practice Phase 2: Developing guidelines by cancer type based on literature reviews, evidence, and experts 24

27 Gaps Identified Society / Policy 1. Gaps in financial reimbursement of clinical survivorship services. 2. Gaps in research funding and limited evidence base on which to base policy recommendations. 3. Need to establish which operational or organizational structure is most effective and efficient in delivering survivorship care. 4. Lack of information on the costs and benefits of providing clinical survivorship care. 27

30 Self-Management for Survivors Pilot the Stanford University Self-Management online course RCT recruitment begins summer / fall 2012 Evaluation complete by spring

31 Post-treatment Transition Study: ACS Research The Post-Treatment Transition Study will identify and prioritize gaps in information and resources for cancer survivors as they transition from active treatment back to the community care setting. The study will examine perceived preparedness in breast, colorectal, and prostate cancer survivors within the first two years of completing primary treatment and is intended to inform the development of the National Cancer Survivorship Resource Center and other ACS activities. Co-Principal Investigators: Corinne Leach, PhD, MPH American Cancer Society Dawn Wiatrek, PhD American Cancer Society Co-Investigators: Kevin Stein, PhD American Cancer Society Katherine Sharpe, MTS American Cancer Society Tenbroeck Smith, MA American Cancer Society Study Collaborators: Annette Stanton, PhD UCLA, Department of Psychology and Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center Michael Diefenbach, PhD Mount Sinai School of Medicine 31

32 Conceptual Cost Models To develop conceptual models for clinical costs of providing care to cancer survivors in four different health care settings (Academic medical center, community cancer center, county cancer center, primary care medical groups) to add evidence based cost information to care delivery models used by health care systems and other providers of survivorship care Examining the cost-effectiveness of a cancer survivorship selfmanagement program on post-treatment survivors. 32

33 Gaps in Addressing Post-Treatment Survivorship Issues Population Gaps Survivors Gaps in the availability of evidence based information, resources and programs on cancer survivorship Need for a tool to assist survivors with information seeking to alleviate information overload and recognize issues in information quality Gaps in tools to empower survivors to manage survivorship care Lack of consensus definition on survivorship programs Health Care Systems Lack of clinical survivorship care guidelines Lack of clarity on which HCP s should be responsible for clinical survivorship care Variations in the knowledge about and availability of services provided for post-treatment care Gaps in clinical information on survivorship, education and training of HCP s Society / Policy Gaps in financial reimbursement of clinical survivorship services Gaps in research funding and limited evidence base on which to base policy recommendations Need to establish with infrastructure is most effective and efficient in delivering survivorship care Lack of information on the costs and benefits of providing clinical survivorship care 33

34 Population Recommendations to Address Post-Treatment Survivorship Issues Recommendations Survivors Refinement of chronic disease self-management model for cancer survivorship to help empower survivors to manage their survivorship care Develop evidence based, culturally appropriate information and resources to meet the needs of posttreatment survivors Increase awareness of existing survivorship information and resources Health Care Systems Develop survivorship care guidance for clinical and psychosocial needs Routine provision of survivorship care plans Education & training of health care professionals Society / Policy Reimbursement for essential post-treatment survivorship care Funding for survivorship research to increase evidence base Education of policy makers to increase awareness of survivorship issues 34 34

35 Going Forward Disseminate guidance among a wide variety of professionals caring for post-treatment cancer survivors Develop materials to support implementation of clinical care guidance. Develop provider education tools and resources and deliver education to PCPs Continue the development of policy resources to elevate survivorship as a public health priority. Continue enrollment in the online self-management randomized control trial and begin follow-up surveys of control and study participants. Develop and deliver tools to assist CCCPs in implementing survivorship activities outlined in their CCC plans. 35
