The January 24 Research-to-Reality (R2R) cyber-seminar will focus on new accreditation standards recently released by the American College of Surgeons' Commission on Cancer (CoC).

These standards aim to ensure that key elements of quality cancer care are provided to every person treated in a CoC-accredited facility. They also challenge cancer programs to address patient-centered needs and to measure the quality of the care they provide against national standards.

Connie Bura, administrative director of Cancer Programs at the CoC, and Dr. Teresa Ponn, of the New Hampshire Comprehensive Cancer Control Collaboration, will outline the evidence for and details of the new patient-centered standards and include strategies to link the patient-centered standards and their implementation at the community level with the objectives of comprehensive cancer control plans.

For more information and to register for this event, visit the R2R website, where you can watch presentations and join discussions. All R2R cyber-seminars are archived on the website approximately 1 week after the presentation.
