Establishing comprehensive cancer patient education services a framework to guide Ontario Cancer Education Services: a special report of cancer care Ontario's Patient Education Program Committee and the Program in Evidence-Based Care (PEBC)

The Cancer Care Ontario Patient Education Program Committee in collaboration with the Program in Evidence-Based Care (PEBC) has reviewed the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) guidelines, Guidelines on Establishing Comprehensive Cancer Patient Education Services, from the Cancer Patient Education Network (CPEN) and endorses the adoption of the Guidelines, with some revision, for use in Ontario. The resulting report is intended for use by administrators of Regional Cancer Programs, Regional Vice Presidents, and patient education experts to facilitate the rollout of a provincial work plan for patient education services.
