A recent study analyzed the importance of adapting healthcare delivery models to address evolving challenges and the need for team-based care in oncology. Researchers highlight the role of advanced practice providers (APPs), such as advanced practice registered nurses and physician assistants, in providing comprehensive oncology care. The study references research by the American Society of Clinical Oncology that demonstrates the valuable contribution of APPs to oncology practices and their ability to handle various aspects of patient care.

The study emphasizes the importance of continuous improvement in team-based care and the potential for innovation in delivering cancer care through collaboration among healthcare professionals.
