Teleoncology in the Veterans Health Administration: Models of Care and the Veteran Experience.
The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) has pioneered teleoncology to address access challenges faced by Veterans requiring cancer care. This ASCO Educational Book highlights the development of teleoncology programs within the VHA: the local VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System (VAPHS) Virtual Cancer Care Center, the National TeleOncology Program (NTO), and the regional Clinical Resource Hub (CRH) Oncology Program. These initiatives provide oncology care using a hub-and-spoke model, which centralizes expertise at hub sites and reaches Veterans at distant spoke sites through synchronous and asynchronous care. The deployment of these teleoncology programs has resulted in significant benefits, such as decreased travel for Veterans, high levels of patient satisfaction, and improved access to specialized treatments. Despite these advancements, disparities in teleoncology utilization and access to clinical trials persist. This educational manuscript highlights the successes and challenges of tele-oncology within the VHA, underscoring the critical role of telehealth in overcoming access barriers.
期刊介绍:
The Ed Book is a National Library of Medicine–indexed collection of articles written by ASCO Annual Meeting faculty and invited leaders in oncology. Ed Book was launched in 1985 to highlight standards of care and inspire future therapeutic possibilities in oncology. Published annually, each volume highlights the most compelling research and developments across the multidisciplinary fields of oncology and serves as an enduring scholarly resource for all members of the cancer care team long after the Meeting concludes. These articles address issues in the following areas, among others: Immuno-oncology, Surgical, radiation, and medical oncology, Clinical informatics and quality of care, Global health, Survivorship.
