Publications That Keep You Ahead of the Competition
ACCC members consistently give ACCC publications high marks for their timeliness and usefulness. Experts in the field of oncology contribute to ACCC's publications and provide a solution-based approach to educating oncology healthcare professionals about streamlining and improving cancer services, practice management trends and techniques, legislative issues, and technological innovations.
Oncology Issues, the official journal of the Association of Community Cancer Centers, serves the multidisciplinary specialty of oncology care and cancer program management.
Oncology Issues is the only oncology-related publication devoted to policy, management, and financial issues of concern to cancer care providers. Featured topics include cancer program and oncology practice improvement, oncology reimbursement and economics, community cancer center profiles, and regulatory and legislative issues affecting cancer care professionals.
Oncology Issues Supplements focus on single topics of interest to the oncology community.
Supplements explore comprehensive survivorship services, cancer care patient navigation services, breast care services, nutrition services, pain management, symptom management, and more.
Surveys. To identify and compare trends in conditions and organizational performance in the oncology marketplace, ACCC initiates surveys of its membership.
ACCC examines Cancer Care Trends and publishes annual survey results as a joint project between ACCC and Eli Lilly. ACCC's 2009 and 2010 surveys are available online. On other fronts, ACCC encourages cancer program administrators employed at ACCC-Member Cancer Programs to take an annual online survey. Slightly more than 19 percent (130 institutions) responded to ACCC's 2009 survey. And close to 1,000 Oncology Pharmacy Education Network (OPEN) members took ACCC's oncology pharmacy survey.
ACCC's Compendia–Based Drug Bulletin has been the standard reference for oncology reimbursement for more than two decades. Currently, under revisement, a new drug guide will be available in 2010.
Issues from 2002-2008 are archived and available online.
Oncology Buyers & Resource Guide is a handy print and online reference of products and services used by cancer programs and oncology practices. The guide is updated annually.
Among the many categories are: architectural and facility design; management services; medical and surgical oncology supplies, equipment, and products; medical information technology systems; and radiation oncology (radiation therapy equipment and treatment services).
Cancer Program Guidelines reflect the optimal components of a cancer program and have been established to assist cancer programs that want to develop and/or maintain a comprehensive inter-disciplinary program that meets the needs of cancer patients and their families.
These guidelines were last revised in March 2009.
