Mashup Score: 27Oncology Survivorship Care Clinics: Design and Implementation of Survivorship Care Delivery Systems at NCCN Member Institutions - 7 day(s) ago
Background: It is estimated that there are >18 million cancer survivors in the United States, and there is a growing number of survivorship programs across the country to care for these individuals. There is a clear need for survivorship care; however, evidence is still emerging on how to best operationalize the guidance from nationally recognized organizations and clinical practice guidelines. Methods: The NCCN Best Practices Committee (BPC) recently conducted a survey to better understand survivorship clinics at NCCN Member Institutions. Representatives from 24 of the 33 NCCN Member Institutions (73%) submitted responses to the survey. Results: Although all responding centers see cancer survivors, most (92%) have ≥1 dedicated survivorship clinics. Of those centers with dedicated survivorship clinics (n=22), 9 (41%) reported general survivorship clinics for all cancer types, and 13 (59%) indicated their center offered ≥1 disease-specific survivorship clinics. Most centers (55%) use a

Mashup Score: 0Nurses’ Heart to Heart Project Creates Relationship-Centered Connections | Oncology Nursing Society - 20 day(s) ago
The relationship between the nursing staff and their patients is sacred. If you ask an oncology nurse what they feel is the best part of their job, the answer will most likely be “my patients.” The cancer treatment experience can involve uncertainty and fear, physical side effects, hopes and setbacks, and more. It can be an emotional roller coaster for patients, but the one constant are the oncology nurses who are at their side throughout the journey. Oncology nursing can be demanding, both physically

Mashup Score: 1When Expressing Gratitude to Employees, Timing Matters - 28 day(s) ago
Extensive research has indicated the benefits of showing gratitude to those around you, including your colleagues or employees. However, a new study suggests that the timing of these expressions can make a big difference. Through two experiments and an analysis of a top hospital’s intensive care units, researchers found that when you express gratitude to others before they engage in a distressing task it helps counteract some of the negative emotions associated with the task. Expressing gratitude early also makes employees more likely to persist through difficulty and bounce back and be resilient following failure. The authors suggests ways to show gratitude meaningfully and create a culture where your employees feel their work is seen, supported, and valued.

Mashup Score: 2
Cancer care stands at a critical juncture where the urgency of rapid drug approvals must be balanced against the need for enduring patient-centric benefits. Robin Forrest and colleagues1 conducted a discrete choice experiment based on a survey of US adults with direct or familial lived cancer experience, to elucidate the perceived, self-reported trade-off between early access to novel cancer treatments and the therapeutic benefits portended. Strikingly, survey respondents expressed a preference for increased overall survival, even at the cost of delayed access to new cancer drugs.
