Cancer Program Standards 2012: Ensuring Patient-Centered Care

Cancer Program Standards 2012: Ensuring Patient-Centered Care has been completely revised and updated to establish new standards that focus on patient-centered needs and bring an additional focus on the quality of care and outcomes.

“In the workgroups we’ve put together to implement these new standards, we are constantly saying, why didn’t we think of doing many of these things before as they make total sense!

Allison Peterson, Cancer Program Coordinator
River Falls Area Hospital, River Falls, WI
