Objectives
- To expand the skills and knowledge base of providers who deal directly with patients on complex financial issues surrounding their cancer diagnosis
- To develop enduring educational materials by which to train new staff
- To provide skill-based educational materials for program staff currently providing financial counseling.
Project Components
An expert advisory panel will help guide this project in collaboration with a leading healthcare consulting company. With member assistance, we will identify effective practices, resources, and tools for inclusion on ACCC’s website. We will develop and deliver a multi-component online course that will cover the basics of financial counseling, as well as include more technical and comprehensive pre- and post-treatment financial planning and support. In addition, we will develop financial counseling guidelines and provide live, regionally based education sessions that will offer participants an interactive forum to share successes and solutions.
Do you have any financial counseling tools or resources that you or your program would be willing to share?
