KanSurvive 2.0: Testing Enhanced Models of Cancer Survivorship Care for Rural Cancer Survivors in Primary Care Practice

Summary

Rural cancer survivors experience a higher risk of negative health outcomes and require coordinated care to address the many effects of cancer and its treatment. Primary care providers recognize the importance of providing high-quality, evidence-based survivorship care and are well-positioned to meet survivor needs, however, these needs are often unmet due to limitations in knowledge, lack of resources, and administrative demands. Practical strategies are needed to help PCPs improve cancer survivorship care, and this proposal will test implementation strategies to optimize the adoption of evidence-based practices for cancer survivorship care in rural primary care settings.
