The Role of Advanced Practice Nurses in Cancer Survivorship Care.

To review advanced practice nursing roles in planning, implementing, and evaluating survivorship care. Review of the literature, published articles, government and organizational reports. The increased focus on improving post-treatment cancer care presents opportunities for advanced practice nurses to meet the physical and psychosocial needs of cancer survivors. As experts in the comprehensive delivery of care, oncology advanced practice nurses are positioned to initiate, deliver, and evaluate survivorship care through innovative models.

Survivorship care planning: one size does not fit all.

To describe the delivery of survivorship care and methods to stratify risk to support the notion that "one size does not fit all." Published articles between 2007 and 2014 and original research findings. The development and implementation of survivorship care into practice provides barriers and opportunities. National mandates are pushing the delivery of a survivorship care plan, which requires the ability to develop and deliver this tool and the necessary health care delivery model to manage the unique needs of each cancer survivor. Oncology nurses and advanced practice nurses will play a crucial role in the development of survivorship care from education and assessment to the delivery of coordinated care.

The challenges of the integration of cancer survivorship care plans with electronic medical records.

To provide an overview of issues and challenges associated with integrating development of survivorship care plan processes with electronic medical records (EMRs). Published peer-reviewed literature. Evidence seems to indicate that survivorship care plans have value to survivors, oncology specialist providers, and primary care providers. Yet, the existence of cost and time restraints are major barriers to creation and use of survivorship care plans, and the expectations that EMR can simplify and expedite survivorship care plan development have yet to be realized. Nurses participating in the development of survivorship programs can contribute to successful implementation of EMR-facilitated survivorship care plans by involvement in strategic planning processes, and establishment of reasonable timelines to address the known and unknown barriers, and assuring the resulting EMR product includes essential data and information.

Issues in adult blood cancer survivorship care.

To describe the current literature and future directions of survivorship care for the adult blood cancer population including unique features, identification of needs, practice guidelines, care models and the implications for nursing. Peer reviewed literature, government and national advocacy organization reports, professional organization guidelines. Adult blood cancer survivors are a heterogeneous population that often receives complicated treatments to live a longer life. Survivorship needs among this population are often unmet throughout the cancer care continuum. The limited research literature and guidelines point to survivorship care strategies from the day of diagnosis to enhance long-term outcomes and improve quality of life. Nurses are experts in symptom management and central to preventing, detecting, measuring, educating, and treating the effects of cancer and its treatment. Moreover, nurses are key to implementing strategies to support blood cancer survivors, families, and caregivers from the day of diagnosis to the last day of life.
