Standard 1.1 – Answer 

The requirements of the letter are listed in Standard 1.1. Sample language is not available for this standard because it needs to be specific to each program.

Standard 1.1 – Answer 

The timing of this letter of commitment is at least once during the survey cycle, so it should be when it is most appropriate for your cancer program. However, the intent is that your facility’s leadership will commit to providing the necessary resources needed to develop and sustain the cancer program as well as commit to providing the resources needed for equipment, personnel and administrative support. This letter is a demonstration by your hospital leadership that they are aware of all the activity in your cancer program.

Your program may want to include the recent cancer program activity as well as outline upcoming initiatives. The letter may be put out later in the cycle to include these OR you can amend the letter to include new initiatives. 

Addressing activity from the previous survey cycle does not comply with the standard.

Standard 1.1 – Answer 

Standard 1.1 is not the Facility Charter, but a letter from the facility's leadership demonstrating their commitment to the Cancer Program and meeting the CoC standards.

Standard 2.1 – Answer to both questions

Yes, the CLP is the cancer committee chair’s alternate.

The program cannot name their own alternate for the chair.

Page 13: Final CAnswer Forum LIVE 2 12 2020 for Webinar Forum Live Feb... · for Standard 2.2. However, for Standard 2.2, the CLP is the quality leader and should be using all the NCDB tools

Standard 2.1 – Answer 

No, the CoC is not indicating a 3‐year term.

Appointments need to occur during the first meeting of a calendar year at least one time during the three‐year accreditation cycle. If any changes to committee membership are made during the cycle, you will need to document it in the minutes. This includes member replacement, interim members, and change in alternates. Programs may choose to appoint more often.

Standard 2.1 – Answer 

It is a recommendation, not a requirement.

Standard 2.2 – Answer to both questions

Technically, if the CLP reports on RQRS at cancer committee twice per year it will comply for Standard 2.2. 

However, for Standard 2.2, the CLP is the quality leader and should be using all the NCDB tools to identify, analyze and present the data to the cancer committee. Standard 2.2 is intended to focus on areas of concern or where expected performance is not being met.

Standard  2.2, 6.4, 7.1 – Answer 

Under Standard 6.4, it does state that the CLP may report RQRS data and performance in partial fulfillment of Standard 2.2.  Standard 7.1 does not require that the CLP monitor the measures.  While reports from 6.4 and 7.1 technically may meet the requirements of 2.2, it is recommended the CLP use this opportunity to report on other NCDB data, specifically areas of concern and/or where benchmarks are not being met.

Standard 2.3 – Answer 

There is no required format or content for the agenda. That is up to the hospital policy and procedures. Many review requirements vary per program due to specific program activity, so this should be determined at the local level.

Standard 2.3 – Answer 

Consent agendas are allowed starting in 2020 for items that do not require discussion (for example, appointment of cancer committee members).

Standard 2.5 – Answer to both questions

Reporting on number of cases discussed is required to be part of the coordinator report.

These required elements are to be reported at the conference level so tracking at the individual level is necessary.  The choice of the tracking method rests with the cancer committee.  

Reports on individual patient discussions should not be provided to the CoC.

Standard 4.5 – Answer 

You will need to track the types of services that the patients are referred to receive and this would be the responsibility of your palliative care team. If palliative cancer treatment is one of your palliative care services, you will need to track patients that are offered these.  A list of services can be found on page 31 of the manual.

Standard 7.3 – Answer

General – Response 

Thank you for the suggestion.

The date of implementation is noted on the cover of the manual as January 2020. The changes in the Optimal Resources for Cancer Care are robust, so each standard should be read in its entirety.
