Health policy in America has shifted rapidly over the last decade, and states are increasingly exercising greater authority over health policy decision-making. This localization and regionalization of healthcare policy poses significant challenges for patients with cancer, providers, advocates, and policymakers. To identify the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead of stakeholders, NCCN hosted the 2019 Policy Summit: The State of Cancer Care in America on June 27, 2019, in Washington, DC. The summit featured multidisciplinary panel discussions to explore the implications for access to quality cancer care within a shifting health policy landscape from a patient, provider, and lawmaker perspective. This article encapsulates the discussion from this NCCN Policy Summit.
在过去十年中,美国的医疗政策迅速转变,各州对医疗政策决策的掌控权也在不断增强。这种医疗政策本地化和区域化给癌症患者、医疗服务提供者、倡导者和政策制定者带来了重大挑战。为了确定利益相关者面临的挑战和机遇,NCCN 于 2019 年 6 月 27 日在华盛顿特区举办了 2019 年政策峰会:美国癌症护理状况。该峰会的特点是多学科小组讨论,从患者、提供者和立法者的角度探讨在不断变化的医疗政策环境中获得高质量癌症护理的影响。本文总结了 NCCN 政策峰会的讨论内容。
