Background

In 2016, the Association of Community Cancer Centers (ACCC) launched a 3-year initiative to develop, test, and refine an Optimal Care Coordination Model (OCCM) to address disparities in lung cancer outcomes between Medicaid and non-Medicaid patients

The Model’s design was adapted from the multidisciplinary care assessment tool of the National Cancer Institute Community Cancer Centers Program.
