Survivorship care planning: one size does not fit all.

OBJECTIVES

To describe the delivery of survivorship care and methods to stratify risk to support the notion that "one size does not fit all."

DATA SOURCES: Published articles between 2007 and 2014 and original research findings.

CONCLUSION

The development and implementation of survivorship care into practice provides barriers and opportunities. National mandates are pushing the delivery of a survivorship care plan, which requires the ability to develop and deliver this tool and the necessary health care delivery model to manage the unique needs of each cancer survivor.

IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: Oncology nurses and advanced practice nurses will play a crucial role in the development of survivorship care from education and assessment to the delivery of coordinated care.
