Transdisciplinary Coordination and Delivery of Care
Objectives:
To generate ideas and explore the future possibilities of patient-centered, transdisciplinary care delivery for individuals with cancer.
Data Sources:
Journal articles, cancer-related professional resources, and web-based resources.
Conclusion:
As health care access increases, new strategies for transdisciplinary care need to evolve through education, research, and clinical practice. Application and utilization of palliative care models, survivorship plans, technological advances and other resources will be important components to improve quality of life and the cancer experience.
Implication For Nursing Practice:
Oncology nurse clinicians (at all levels), educators, researchers, and administrators involved in inpatient and outpatient settings should lead and participate in changes that will drive a more robust approach to transdisciplinary cancer care delivery.
