摘要:: Cancer programs are increasingly required to use survivorship care plans (SCPs). Compliance with SCP use requirements will be evaluated at the cancer program level. Cancer program-level determinants of SCP use may suggest strategies for compliance. The objective of this study was to describe SCP use and identify its cancer program-level determinants. We surveyed employees knowledgeable about survivorship practices in cancer programs throughout the USA with a wide range of annual incident cancers, program types, and cancer care quality improvement organization memberships (81/100 response rate). We used descriptive statistics to describe SCP use and bivariate statistics to identify its cancer program-level determinants. Most respondents (56 %) reported that SCPs were not used. In programs reporting use, SCP use is restricted primarily to breast (82 %) and colorectal (55 %) cancer survivors, and few providers use SCPs. When developed, SCPs seldom reach survivors and their primary care providers. Most respondents (78 %) reported beginning to use SCPs because of requirements. Frequently cited barriers included insufficient resources (76 %), perceived difficulty using SCPs (29 %), and lack of advocacy for SCP use from influential people (24 %). SCP use was positively associated with academic program type (p = .009) and membership in the National Cancer Institute's Community Cancer Centers Program (p = .009) and negatively associated with freestanding program type (p = .02). SCP use in the US cancer programs is highly inconsistent. Many cancer programs plan to implement SCPs to comply with SCP use requirements. Support specifically intended to facilitate SCP use may be more effective than non-specific resources.
