The Time is Now: Prospective Surveillance and the New NAPBC Standards
Wednesday, October 7th, 6pm ET
Featured Faculty: Nicole L. Stout DPT, CLT-LANA, FAPTA
Overview
One care delivery model has the potential to elevate your clinical practice towards improving surveillance workflows that align to several of the new NAPBC standards. In 2027, Standard 5.8 will require Lymphedema Assessment protocols, Standard 5.15 will require a Return to Wellness protocol, and Standard 5.16 will require a Surveillance protocol for long-term and late effects. Implementing a prospective surveillance care delivery model, using baseline and interval surveillance timepoints throughout the care continuum is an opportunity to create one clinical pathway that helps your breast cancer center align to all three of these standards. This webinar will review the evidence for prospective surveillance, highlight key time points and clinical measures that are most relevant to these standards, and will share implementation strategies that can help your practice optimize workflows that optimize surveillance over time.
Learning Objectives
- Identify the prospective surveillance model evidence-based clinical pathway elements and timeline.
- Understand how the model enables a surveillance pathway that can support clinical alignment to the new NAPBC standards.
- Discuss measurement tools, staffing models, and workflow elements based on successful implementation cases.
