Columbus NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP)

描述（由申请人提供）：美国对高质量癌症治疗的需求不断增加，但该系统处于困境。人口老龄化将增加对服务的需求，而此时成本上升、可及性不均衡、预期的劳动力短缺以及缺乏基于证据的癌症护理解决方案已使该系统陷入危机。这是医学研究所（lOM）委员会报告的结论，该报告最近在“提供高质量的癌症治疗：为危机中的系统绘制新路线”（华盛顿特区，国家科学院出版社，2013年）中发表了一些建议。lOM委员会强调了临床试验的重要作用，特别是在比较有效性研究领域，以及将结果转化为临床实践。新的国家社区肿瘤研究计划（NCORP）正准备接受这一建议，而哥伦布CCOP/NCORP凭借我们在癌症护理研究和教育项目方面的经验，将研究成果转化为护理人员，是唯一适合这项任务的项目。我们通过调整现有的基础设施，设计了一个包括我们三家主要医院的综合癌症护理交付研究项目，并由一个在该领域有经验的医生领导的团队进行协调，从而延续了我们在创新方面的声誉。我们广泛的社区互动历史将加强这一努力。哥伦布CCOP/NCORP确实已经准备好与NCORP合作，共同打造一个创新的、以证据为基础的、以患者为中心的癌症护理服务体系。我们为过去的成功感到自豪，并期待着哥伦布公司的美好未来。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The need for high quality cancer care in the United States is ever increasing, but the system is in distress. An aging population will increase demand for services at a at time when rising costs, uneven accessibility, anticipated workforce shortages and a lack of evidence based cancer care delivery solutions have put the system into crisis. This was the conclusion of an Institute of Medicine (lOM) committee report which recently published a number of recommendations in "Delivering High-Quality Cancer Care: Charting a New Course for a System in Crisis", Washington DC, National Academies Press, 2013". The important role for clinical trials especially in the area of comparative effectiveness research, an the translation of results into clinical practice was emphasized by the lOM committee. The new National Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) is poised to engage this recommendation and the Columbus CCOP/NCORP with our experience in cancer care delivery research and educational programs to translate research results to care-givers is uniquely suited to this task. We have continued our reputation for innovation by adapting our existing infrastructure in the design of an integrated cancer care delivery research program involving our 3 major hospitals, coordinated by a team headed by a physician with experience in this area. Our history of extensive community interactions will enhance this effort. The Columbus CCOP/NCORP is indeed ready to join with the NCORP as we forge an innovative evidence-based, patient-centered cancer care delivery system. We are proud of our success in the past and look forward to a bright future as the Columbus NCORP.
