Clinical tools to enhance survivorship cancer

245 Background: Clear patient-centered recommendations for follow-up and health maintenance is a primary goal of ASCO’s model for survivorship and palliative care. The Commission on Cancer also sought to improve the quality of survivorship care by requiring accredited programs to implement survivorship care plans (SCPs) and treatment summaries by 2015. Our aim is to describe the SCP's components and metrics collected in 12 survivorship clinics of an academic cancer center. Methods: A multidisciplinary team was convened to develop clinical practice tools to guide providers on transitioning patients to a survivorship clinic. These tools were based on 4 IOM's domains: surveillance, risk reduction, late effects management, and emotional function.Algorithms are supported with a Passport Plan for Health (Passport) specifically designed for each disease. These clinical tools allowed clinicians to provide recommendations for each survivor. Tools were electronically available to survivors and their primary care providers. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize metrics in this analysis. Results: To date, 44 cancer-site specific algorithms and 19 Passports have been launched and used by clinicians in 12 survivorship clinics.Metrics collected are: a) number of Passports completed, b) providers’ completion of SCPs, and c) dates with counseling recommendations outlined in the treatment pathways. Since FY08, 25,912 Passports were distributed to 13,105 survivors. In FY14, 6,160 Passports were issued (80.7% provider completion rate). Passport completion varied by provider (7%-97%). Survivors were counseled for recommendations related to colonoscopy (97% of the time), skin screening (98%), mammogram (97%), gynecological screening (95%), and prostate screening (74%). Conclusions: Algorithms and SCPs serve as clinical tools to help providers and survivors manage physical and emotional issues. These tools increase standardization in the delivery of survivorship care, safety, quality, and promote communication among survivors and providers across clinical settings.
