The approach 在initiative to achieve this goal is two-fold, to ensure that patients:
- Receive regular screening for distress和need for psychosocial support or palliative care
- 从优质护理服务供应商获得任何所需的服务
的csoi，与在
医疗商业模式中心合作，开始组装35个芝加哥地区的机构，包括癌症治疗中心，支持中心和临终关怀机构，并要求他们找出支持癌症护理最需要的领域。这一初步研究得出如下结论：癌症护理机构需要实施支持性护理服务，为病人量身定制&rsquo；的需求，在医疗点使用合作医疗。
To meet this need, Northwestern Medicine和Lurie Cancer Center were selected to manage design teams to develop distress screening and survivorship care best practices with the assistance of six other Chicago hospitals. NorthShore University Health Systems was also selected by the CSOI to manage design teams that would develop best practices for palliative care and hospice referral. The six Chicago hospitals implementing the Coleman Supportive Oncology designed processes include:
- 大学医学中心
- 芝加哥大学医学中心
- 伊利诺伊大学医院
- 仁慈医院
- 西奈医院
- 库克县约翰·较强的医院

“We recognize that to achieve the best possible outcomes and quality of life, cancer care must include a combined focus on the physical, emotional and practical needs of patients across the continuum of care,” said Rosa Berardi, program officer 在Coleman Foundation. “We are hopeful that through this Initiative, all institutions in the Chicago metro area will be propelled and equipped to provide supportive oncology care to all cancer patients.”
The Initiative was first inspired as a result 在Institute of Medicine (IOM) 2013 report, “Delivering High-Quality Cancer Care: Charting a New Course for a System in Crisis,” which outlined recommendations for improved supportive care and services for patients with cancer across the care continuum. Most Chicago cancer centers have implemented or started implementation of some of these aspects, but none of them have achieved the level of quality and service delivery the IOM report says is needed. In addition, American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer new accreditation standards, which took effect January 1, 2015, require accredited centers to provide proactive distress screenings, access to palliative care and a survivorship treatment summary and care plan for cancer patients based on their individual medical needs.
