Blueprint for Quality Cancer Care  While many initiatives are underway that together promise to incrementally improve systems of care, a clear picture of what high quality cancer care would look like is missing.  A major focus of the CQA is the Blueprint for Quality Cancer Care Cancer, a set of five cancer care case studies that present examples of systems failures that occur in real life, interventions to overcome these failures, and action steps to be taken to achieve “best case” care. Together, the scenarios represent a “Blueprint” for action.  The Blueprint case studies convey a vision of the best cancer care imaginable and, at the same time, achievable.  The CQA intends to will make the case studies available for use as teaching tools to give health care providers and patients descriptions of how the health care system should work to achieve the ultimate benefit for an individual living with, through, and beyond a diagnosis of cancer. The Blueprint is published on CA Journal's website and in the Sept/Oct issue. To view the article click here. A longer version of the document, which includes a glossary of medical terms, is being developed and will be available on this site upon completion.
