Abstract
Despite clinical guidelines supporting the use of survivorship care plans in survivorship visits, multiple meta-analyses have shown survivorship care plans do not have a statistically significant effect on crucial patient outcomes, including satisfaction with information and follow-up care, cancer-related distress, and quality of life measures. Cancer survivors may also have unmet needs not previously known or addressed in their survivorship care. The goals of this program evaluation include: (1) identify unmet needs of Oregon cancer survivors, (2) explore patient-reported use of survivorship care plans in Oregon, and (3) assess patient perceived survivorship care plan efficacy in addressing unmet needs.
