3 Resources to Transform Care

ACCC has developed a suite of practical resources to help teams access and improve the level of care for serving older adults with cancer.

Your team can use these resources to transform care for this growing population.

1. Geriatric Oncology Gap Assessment: Take the evidence-based gap assessment tool to evaluate key elements of care. Assess your program’s performance against validated measures and best practices related to older adult care in nine domains. You will receive a report with a score and recommendations for improvement.

2. Practical Application of Geriatric Assessment: A How-To Guide for the Multidisciplinary Team: Read the how-to guide to design a multidisciplinary approach to holistic care without burdening staff or budgets. They key is to start with something simple and feasible.

3. Online Resource Library: Browse the resource library which includes more than 100 validated assessment tools, offering solutions for all care delivery settings.

“Older adults with cancer deserve greater attention from the oncology community. All of us are in a position to help them to live better."
