New Resources Are Available for CoC-Accredited Programs

Two new resources are available for CoC-accredited programs in the Resources section of QPort.

The new CoC Health Equity Toolkit includes

• Overview of the impact of financial toxicity and health equity on patients with cancer
• Links to available resources to aid cancer programs in addressing financial toxicity and health equity for their patients
• A list of CoC Standards where health equity or financial toxicity may be the focus of standard compliance

The Resource Intersection Guide, developed by the American Cancer Society with the support of the CoC, outlines Society resources that can help support cancer programs in their efforts to meet CoC accreditation standards. While these resources do not demonstrate all required elements for compliance with CoC standards, the list of programs and services aligned with specific CoC standards can be a helpful component of a program’s accreditation process.

CoC-accredited programs can access both the Health Equity Toolkit and the Intersections Guide under the “Standards Compliance Resources” heading in the Resources section of QPort.
