In 2012, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a committee charged with addressing the quality of cancer care in the United States and providing recommendations to policymakers and the cancer care community on strategies to improve cancer care delivery from the time of diagnosis through end-of-life. The resulting committee report, titled
Delivering High-Quality Cancer Care: Charting a New Course for a System in Crisis
(2013), presented a conceptual framework that included six interconnected components of care with corresponding recommendations. Over the past decade, the delivery of high-quality of cancer care has become more challenging and increasingly demanding on the workforce. In this manuscript, we review the goals and recommendations made in 2013, describe progress to date, and offer insights into future dedicated efforts and/or new strategies needed to achieve high-quality cancer care.
