Abstract:

80 Background: Feedback provided by customers/consumers has become an established means of assessing the quality of goods and services. The Optum division of UnitedHealth Group maintains two telephonic case management programs for cancer patients to support quality and cost effective care: Cancer Resource Services (CRS) and the Cancer Support Program (CSP). In each case, the purpose of the telephonic intervention is to provide support, education, and, when appropriate, steerage to one of our contracted Centers of Excellence (COEs).

Abstract:

Introduction: The diagnosis of pediatric cancers has traditionally relied on a cascade of testing approaches that allow for cancer identification. The advancement of diagnostic capabilities using genome sequencing has led to redundancy in information reported at some centers. Consolidation of the diagnostic approach has the potential to improve resource allocation and decrease costs. At St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (SJCRH), conventional cytogenetics in the diagnosis of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) was discontinued with the introduction of clinical genomics testing (inc

134 Background: Treatment-related sexual dysfunction is a distressing problem for many cancer survivors. Cancer treatment guidelines recommend therapeutic aids for sexual health rehabilitation (e.g., vaginal dilators, moisturizers, vacuum erection device). However, survivors often don't know how or where to access sexual aids or may be uncomfortable procuring them. 25 NCI-designated Cancer Centers/NCCN-member institutions were surveyed about availability of sexual aids and resources for survivors.

Abstract:

Abstract Background: Optimal care for cancer survivors requires a comprehensive array of supportive care services to address the multitude of physical, psychological, social, financial, and health promotion needs of this population. To understand options to address their unique needs, survivors and their caregivers may seek information from online sources. Although National Cancer Institute-Designated Cancer Centers (NCIDCCs) serve as leaders in cancer treatment and care delivery, as well as credible sources for survivors to receive information on their recovery, no study has characterized the

They are highly motivated to find reliable information about treatment options as quickly as possible. Many arrive with little prior CRC education. Here we illustrate the creation of a patient-centric disease education program, COLONTOWN University (CTU), developed from the conversations and information journeys in COLONTOWN.

Abstract Objectives Nationally, 50% of all cancer patients experience malnutrition upon diagnosis or during the course of treatment. When registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) are involved in oncology treatment, outcomes improve, with a reduction in financial burden for the patient and health delivery system. Despite the high prevalence of outpatient treatment utilization (up to 90% of cancer patients), RDN understaffing is common in outpatient cancer treatment settings.
