The Commission on Cancer (CoC) annual plenary meeting was held virtually this year. AONN+ is one of 57 member organizations within the CoC, and I serve as a representative for our organization. The CoC currently accredits 1500 out of the 6100 cancer centers nationally, and their hope is to market to those who are not currently accredited. Check to see if your facility is accredited.
Dr Larry Shulman, the current president of the Commission, stated, “The CoC remains less prominent than it should be, however, when it comes to quality of care, no group has the impact the CoC does. The CoC has paid attention to survivorship care, promoting this to other organizations as well. The CoC has also done more to advance palliative care, too.”
