Supporting Patients through Cancer Diagnosis and Treatments in the Medical Home
In a partnership between the PCPCC and the American Cancer Society, the PCPCC developed three fact sheets that aim to help patients with cancer better communicate with their primary care team and oncology team during initial diagnosis, during treatment and as survivors of cancer. Specifically, these fact sheets are designed to help patients understand the basic roles of the medical home specific to cancer prevention, treatment and survivorship. The fact sheets provide patients with a set of key questions they can ask to help define the roles of each member of the care team. At the heart of the project is the desire to empower patients to ask open-ended questions of their primary care team, so that patients and providers understand and agree on expectations and responsibilities.
This partnership also includes a three-part webinar series in December 2013.
* Webinar slides and recordings will be posted on pcpcc.org following the event.
