Supportive oncology care is essential in management of all cancers, recommended in guidelines, and required by accreditation bodies, such as Commission on Cancer. However, significant barriers—including insufficient fee-for-serve reimbursement and the lack of relevant specialists and staff to deliver these services—prevent consistent availability and delivery of supportive oncology services.
ACCC is conducting a national study to examine the current capacity for and barriers to the delivery of comprehensive adult supportive oncology services at a representative set of ACCC member institutions.
