Guide to Best Practices in a Comprehensive Prostate Cancer Program
A Project of ACCC's Center for Provider Education
Introduction
This Guide to Best Practices in a Comprehensive Prostate Cancer Program is designed to assist community centers by outlining the process and structures that successful community-based prostate-specific cancer programs throughout the U.S. have used to initiate and grow their prostate cancer programs. It serves as a resource for community programs in identifying the need for prostate-specific care in their communities, opening lines of communication among providers, developing a collaborative team approach to care, and providing guidance in planning and implementing a successful multidisciplinary prostate cancer program.
This document is not a clinical guide. There are sufficient clinical resources available for centers to reference to identify diagnostic and treatment options. There are guidelines and standards mentioned that should be used in developing policies and procedures related to the diagnostic and treatment functions of the program. This document relates administrative and support functions and highlights success factors of model community-based prostate cancer programs.
