There are currently 15.5 million cancer survivors in USA who increasingly relying on primary care providers for their care. Patient-Centered Medical Homes (PCMHs) have the potential to meet unique needs of survivors; but, few studies examined PCMH attributes as resources delivering survivorship This study assesses current coordination infrastructure advanced PCMHs, known be innovative, and explores capacity provide We conducted comparative case a purposive sample (n = 9) PCMHs examine...
Abstract Background Management of care transitions from primary into and out oncology is critical for optimal cancer patients survivors. There limited understanding existing care-oncology relationships within the context changing health environment. Methods Through a comparative case study 14 innovative practices throughout United States (U.S.), we examined between settings to identify attributes contributing strengthened in diverse settings. Field researchers observed 10–12 days, recording...
Breast, colorectal, and prostate cancer survivors are at increased risk for late long-term effects post-treatment. The post-treatment phase of care is often poorly coordinated navigate follow-up with minimal information or guidance from their healthcare team.

Obese breast cancer survivors (BCSs) are impacted by diminished quality of life (QOL), multiple comorbid conditions, and poor disease outcomes. Despite national guidelines recommending a healthy weight to improve QOL outcomes posttreatment, support education not routinely provided BCSs in primary care. To fill this gap, we assessed perceptions care received among status.Cross-sectional surveys were administered early-stage (N = 188) from 2 New Jersey centers between May 2012 July 2013....
