Models of care in outpatient cancer centers

Perspectives in Ambulatory Care has issued a report identifying models of care in the ambulatory oncology setting. Lead author Dr. Charlotte T. Lee of the University Health Network in Toronto argues that innovations in delivery have not kept up with the numerous evidence-based research being undertaken in the cancer care environment. The report comments on common themes to include in an ideal model of care, and the challenges faced in outpatient cancer centers. An executive summary is available here. The complete report has been published in: Lee, C., Fitzgerald, B., Downey, S., and Moore, M. (2012). Models of care in outpatient cancer centers. Nursing Economics, 30(2), 108-116.
