Collaboration across the cancer care continuum to improve functional independence Rehabilitation is an essential part of quality cancer care. Cancer rehabilitation specialty programs must focus on strategies to optimize outcomes from the time of diagnosis through the trajectory of cancer to prevent or minimize the impact of impairments, reduce activity limitations, and maximize participation for the persons served.
The CARF standards reinforce the importance of cancer rehabilitation specialists establishing partnerships with acute care oncology, radiology, and other providers along the continuum. It is important to identify and address problems in order to optimize participation and improve the quality of life for the persons served and their families. Rehabilitation across the continuum can be highly effective in improving functional independence. The value of cancer rehabilitation is not confined by national boundaries.
Christina May Moran de Brito, M. As such, setting global standards will benefit not only a great number of patients, but also will help the providers toward quality care improvement and collaboration. A framework for quality improvement across the cancer care continuum Guided by the individual preferences, strengths, and needs of the persons served, a CARF-accredited cancer rehabilitation specialty program assists persons served and their families and support systems to manage their own health, encourages their appropriate use of healthcare systems and services, and supports their efforts to promote personal health and wellness and improve quality of life throughout their lifespan.
The use of performance indicators ensures that a CARF-accredited cancer rehabilitation specialty program measures the effectiveness and efficiency of services, access to services, and the satisfaction of persons served across the continuum offered. Cancer rehabilitation specialty programs provide advocacy on behalf of persons who have been diagnosed with cancer, including outreach to regulators, legislators, educational institutions, research funding organizations, payers, and the community.
A holistic interdiscplinary team approach A person-centered cancer rehabilitation specialty program utilizes a holistic interdisciplinary team approach to address the unique rehabilitation needs of persons who have been diagnosed with cancer.
A cancer rehabilitation specialty program may be provided in a variety of settings, including hospitals, healthcare systems, outpatient clinics, or community-based programs. Personnel demonstrate competencies and the application of evidence-based practices to deliver services that address the preventive, restorative, supportive, and palliative rehabilitation needs of the persons served.
