The results of a recently published national survey - co-authored by several HOPA members - have helped paint a clearer picture of the current landscape of oncology stewardship in the United States.
In order to gain greater knowledge about the state of oncology stewardship, HOPA distributed a survey to 675 of its members between September 9, 2022 and October 9, 2022. The survey results found that, though most organizations have adopted general oncology stewardship practices, significantly fewer have established formalized oncology stewardship programs due to a number of frequently cited barriers. The article concludes with a call for formalized oncology stewardship programs in the United States that aid in the value, quality, and safety of cancer care.
The full results of the national survey are now published in the Journal of Oncology Pharmacy Practice.
