MERITCARE HOSPITAL COMMUNITY CLINICAL ONCOLOGY PROGRAM

MeritCare医院社区临床肿瘤学计划由MeritCare医院、MeritCare医疗组和MeritCare Roger Maris癌症中心及其附属组织Fergus Falls Medical Group组成，计划通过参与国家癌症研究所批准的临床试验向个人提供最先进的癌症治疗和预防和控制研究。CCOP建议改进和扩大其现有方案：1)通过与四个合作研究小组建立联系，增加NCI批准的临床试验的合格患者数量，并通过教育、沟通和关于应计费用的反馈，加强与初级保健医生的关系；2)通过与为少数群体服务的初级保健提供者建立伙伴关系，加强与服务少数群体的机构的沟通，继续为服务领域服务不足的医疗人员提供服务，并为少数族裔招募开发持续监测系统，提高数据管理系统的质量和效率；3)通过加强各组成部分和附属组织的自动化和质量监测系统，提高数据管理系统的质量和效率，以及4)通过参与大规模预防试验以及通过合作研究小组提供的其他癌症控制研究，扩大癌症预防和控制在临床试验中的参与，并加强与服务地区初级保健提供者的关系和转诊模式。

The MeritCare Hospital Community Clinical Oncology Program, composed of MeritCare Hospital, MeritCare Medical Group, and MeritCare Roger Maris Cancer Center and affiliate organization Fergus Falls Medical Group, propose to provide state-of-the-art cancer treatment and prevention and control research to individuals through participation in National Cancer Institute approved clinical trials. The CCOP proposes to refine and expand its existing program by: 1) increasing the number of eligible patients placed on NCI approved clinical trials through affiliations with four cooperative research groups and strengthening relationships with primary care physicians through education, communication and feedback on accrual, 2) increasing the number of minorities entered on clinical trials through partnerships with primary care providers serving minorities, enhanced communication with agencies serving minorities, continuing to serve the medically underserved of the service area, and developing a continuous monitoring system for minority recruitment, 3) increasing the quality and efficiency of data management systems through increased automation, and quality monitoring systems at the components and affiliate organization, and 4) expanding cancer prevention and control participation in clinical trials through participation in large-scale prevention trials as well as other cancer control studies available through cooperative research groups and strengthening relationships and referral patterns with primary care providers in the service area.
