Healthcare Teams Cyber Discussions

Advancing Team-Based Care Delivery Models & Interventions across the Cancer Continuum

This two-part webinar series presents research examining multidisciplinary, interprofessional team-based care delivery models and related interventions to improve care coordination and address care quality and timeliness at multiple points along the cancer continuum.

Participants will learn about development, evaluation, and application of these models across a range of cancer care services and relevant team-based delivery models developed outside cancer care. The series will highlight approaches designed to enhance communication, streamline care decisions, advance equitable receipt of recommended care, and improve clinical outcomes.

Health services researchers, cancer care clinicians, and patients are invited to join the webinar series.
