Development of a standard survivorship care plan template for radiation oncologists

The standardized ASTRO SCP template serves an immediate need of practicing radiation oncologists to have a template that is radiation-specific and meets current requirements for SCP and radiation treatment summary. Potential future work may include development of disease-specific templates that will include more granular details regarding expected toxicities and follow-up care recommendations and working with electronic medical record system vendors to facilitate autocreation of SCP documents to reduce the burden on physicians and other staff. These future developments can make this intervention more helpful to patients, and further reduce the burden of creating SCPs.
