Supportive care is a “whole person approach” to cancer care in which patients receive “physical, emotional, spiritual, community, decision-making, social and economic support.” The consortium aims to increase access to this type of care for all cancer patients, according to a Sept. 30 news release from the group.
The health systems and cancer centers joining the consortium are Duarte, Calif.-based City of Hope, Danville, Pa.-based Geisinger, Salt Lake City-based Huntsman Cancer Institute, Oakland, Calif.-based Kaiser Permanente, Houston-based University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and Renton, Wash.-based Providence.
At the Becker's Perioperative Summit, taking place September 14–15 in Chicago, perioperative leaders and healthcare executives will focus on improving operating room efficiency, enhancing patient safety, optimizing staffing and driving innovation across surgical services.
