<strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> <strong>Health</strong> System in Eau Claire <strong>Cancer</strong> Committee 2012<br />
Commission on <strong>Cancer</strong> (CoC) Survey: Spring 2013<br />
It’s hard to believe survey time is approaching, but it’s coming soon! We surveyed for the first time on July 9,<br />
2010, <strong>and</strong> will be surveyed again in spring 2013. The Commission on <strong>Cancer</strong> (CoC) program approval process<br />
began in 1930. Currently, there are more than 1,500 CoC-accredited cancer programs in the United St<strong>at</strong>es <strong>and</strong><br />
Puerto Rico.<br />
Every three years, a facility volunteers to a rigorous survey th<strong>at</strong> enables a cancer program to offer better cancer<br />
care by pursuing requirements th<strong>at</strong> monitor <strong>and</strong> evalu<strong>at</strong>e the quality of their program. Each year, the facility<br />
completes a survey applic<strong>at</strong>ion record, referred to as the SAR.<br />
<strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> <strong>Health</strong> System in Eau Claire, Wis., is an accredited program <strong>and</strong> agrees with the basis of the CoC<br />
program: To consider the “whole” p<strong>at</strong>ient when implementing a care plan <strong>and</strong> to be concerned with the p<strong>at</strong>ient’s<br />
full continuum of cancer from prevention through hospice <strong>and</strong> end-of-life care or survivorship <strong>and</strong> quality of<br />
life.<br />
To meet the program requirements, the facility depends on an effective cancer committee. The <strong>Cancer</strong><br />
Committee is a group of committed people who work continually to plan <strong>and</strong> execute all the activities in the<br />
cancer program. They are dedic<strong>at</strong>ed to the cancer p<strong>at</strong>ient <strong>and</strong> representing the full scope of the p<strong>at</strong>ient’s cancer<br />
care.<br />
