Most of these women will survive their cancer diagnosis yet face an uphill battle of maintaining their health as well as to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence. To help women in coordinate, there is a shift toward patient-centered approaches to survivorship with Clinical Integrated Networks (CIMs), Patient-Centered Medical Homes (PCMHs), Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), and the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI; Figure 21-1). The focus of these emerging concepts is to help women make informed health care decisions, improve health care delivery, and implement plans of care using evidence-based information. Ultimately, survivorship is guided by patients, caregivers, and the broader health care community.1 Ideally, patients as well as members of the public have the information they need to make decisions with their health care professional that reflect desired health outcomes. As health care professionals, we must hear the call of our patients’ desires to improve survivorship through rehabilitation, quality of life (QOL), and symptom management. As the nation moves from physician-centric care to a patient-centered team approach, our patients deserve more active roles in their survivorship.
