From 1991 1998, he was Chief of Oncology at The Hospital for Sick Children. From 1998 2008, he cochaired the national Canadian Childhood Cancer Surveillance and Control Program. He is a previous North American President of the International Society of Pediatric Oncology. He is the author or coauthor of over 180 papers and many book chapters. Current research interests include long-term overall and specific outcomes and quality of care for children treated for childhood cancer, and interventions to mitigate those outcomes. In the mid 1908s, he was integral in the founding of POGO, a multidisciplinary collaboration of the pediatric academic centres delivering childhood cancer care in Ontario, established to provide a forum for participants in the care of childhood cancer. POGO is now the principal advisor to the Ontario Ministry of Health on matters relating to childhood cancer. As a result of POGO s planning and 2014 PRE-SIOP WORKSHOP: SURVIVAL IS NOT ENOUGH
advocacy, an integrated system of care for childhood cancer has been instituted, part of which is a network of aftercare clinics for survivors. This network follows consensus guidelines, and shares a common database that links adult survivors to their pediatric history, and incorporates physical, emotional and neurocognitive outcomes into the care pathways. Dr. Greenberg was awarded the Order of Canada in 2001, in recognition of his outstanding achievements in the area of childhood cancer. In 2007, he was awarded the prestigious O. Harold Warwick prize, a National Cancer Institute of Canada Award of Excellence in recognition of his outstanding contributions to improving the survival and quality of life of children with cancer. In recognition of his contributions to Canada, the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal was presented to him in 2012.

POGO AfterCare Program Objectives Identification of at-risk population Prevention Early detection - targeted screening Mitigation of detected late effects Biomedical Psychosocial
POGO AfterCare Program Organizational Principles Based on philosophy of equity, equivalence and access: 1. Human and fiscal resources a) Staffing requirements 2. Standardized guidelines a) Operational/process a. Guidelines for new referrals b. Transition guidelines i. From active follow up to AfterCare ii. Maturational/developmental transition iii. Transfer of care, i.e. pediatrics to adult b) Patient based care according to guidelines (largely COG)
POGO AfterCare Program Organizational Principles 3. Interdisciplinary professional development opportunities a) Multi-centre, multi-disciplinary planning/program design b) Ongoing interdisciplinary CE 4. Evaluation
Discipline Specific Staffing Requirements Staffing needs calculated by each discipline Physicians Nurses Behavioural Professionals - Social Workers - Neuropsychologists - Clinical Health Psychologists - Psychometrists Data Managers
Models of Care
POGONIS Data Content Overview General Profiles Demographics Patient/Family Sociographics Patient/Family Disease Characteristics - Diagnosis and Stage, Status Medical Treatments Type, Date and Details Locus of Treatment POGO Centers Satellite Programs Status Markers Allied Health Treatments POGO Centers Satellite Programs Death Record Late Effects Health Service Utilization Data
The Challenge - Expanding Volumes Who provides the care - Internal medicine - Family physicians - Nurse practitioner/apn Assignment by risk Is compliance with guidelines better in structured survivor clinics than in community Reaching out to structured multidisciplinary family practice units What about older survivors lost to follow up
