CoC Standards

Vicki Kennedy, Danelle Johnston, and Tricia Strusowski reflect on when and how to best begin implementing standardized metrics, suggesting it might be best to start small and to build relationships in order to build a tangible case to make about the value of the navigator.

Lillie Shockney explains how she and AONN+ are working towards encouraging the reevaluation of CoC standard 3.3 (on survivorship care plans) in order to measure compliance and success more accurately.

Tricia Strusowski explains how the AONN+ standardized navigation metrics perfectly complement and support CoC standards.

Barbara Dearmon reviews some of the most commonly asked questions surrounding becoming or remaining CoC compliant.

Barbara Dearmon feels that AONN+ standardized metrics will support CoC standards and help set a standard of care.

Barbara Dearmon expands upon how implementation of CoC standards can help navigators better care for their patients by helping guide population assessments and identify community needs.

Barbara Dearmon asserts that CoC standards help improve patient care by defining guidelines on how to assess your patients.

Barbara Dearmon believes it's important for facilities to become CoC accredited because it sets a standard of care, gives you guidelines, and allows for assessment of patients' needs.

This is part one of a free, interactive three-part webinar series on Survivorship hosted by the American Cancer Society. The webinars will include information about the Commission on Cancer survivorship care planning standard and the role of National Cancer Database data, review of the newly released American Cancer Society cancer survivorship care guidelines and a presentation by healthcare systems implementing survivorship programs.
