Cancer survivors and their care providers often lack sufficient information about how to address their short and long term medical needs. A number of care plan models are available. How can we work to ensure that cancer survivors have a care plan? 

Cancer Plan Minnesota Objective 17:  Optimize the continuity of care for cancer survivors during and beyond the initial course of treatment. 

Strategy:  Develop and promote methods to facilitate the exchange of information among all healthcare providers involved in the care of cancer survivors.

Primary Aim: To engage and enlist additional people and resources in Cancer Alliance activities. In specific, to address need for survivor care plans.

·         Identification of elements of a survivor care plan

·         Come to consensus on a preferred survivor care plan

·         Commitment of individuals to do something
