  2. HAMILTON REGIONAL CANCER CENTRE

  3. BC Cancer Agency Centre for the Southern Interior

  4. Standards of Practice Defined National Working Group Review of the Standards National Review Dissemination Clinical Practice Guidelines Defined Quality of Evidence National Working Group Work to date Future work Agenda

  5. Key Stakeholders • Canadian Association of Provincial Cancer Agencies (CAPCA) • Canadian Strategy for Cancer Control (CSCC)

  6. CAPCA • A national board consisting of chief executive officers of each of the provincial cancer agencies plus trustees drawn from provincial cancer agency boards and a representative from the Canadian Cancer Society/National Cancer Institute mission • CAPCA is an interprovincial organization engaged in cancer control

  7. CAPCA: Key Policy Advisory Committees • Clinical Practice Guideline Initiative • Psychosocial Oncology Policy Advisory Committee • Supportive Care Policy Advisory Committee (Joint effort of CAPCA and CSCC).

  8. Canadian Strategy for Cancer Control (CSCC) “Cancer control is too complex and broad a challenge for any single jurisdiction or organization to achieve by acting alone. This strategy presents an unprecedented opportunity for coordinated and collaborative action on a number of fronts that promises to change the cancer control landscape in Canada”.

  9. CSCC: Priority Areas 1. Establish a Council 2. Standards and Guidelines 3. Primary Prevention 4. Rebalance Focus 5. Human Resources 6. Research

  10. Standards of Practice Leader Dr. Brent Schacter, CEO Cancer Care Manitoba Mandate: Develop national Standards of Practice Clinical Practice Guidelines Leader Dr.George Browman CEO Hamilton Regional Cancer Centre Mandate: Facilitate a national coordinated approach to CPGs CSCC Priority Areas: Standards and Guidelines

  11. R E C A P…... • Two National Groups citing Standards of Practice and Clinical Practice Guidelines as key priority areas • Supportive Care Advisory Group Working encouraging these priority areas • Members of these groups encouraging dietitians to begin work in these areas

  12. Standards of Practice: Defined A Standard: • a measure, criterion or specific behavior against which something or someone is measured • are norms that express an agreed upon level of practice that has been developed to characterize, measure and provide guidance for achieving excellence • provides a guide to the knowledge, skills, judgments and attitudes that are needed to practice safely

  13. DESCRIBE: what dietitians do what dietitians are accountable for acceptable level of performance in a given situation 1. Patient population is defined 2. Statement of objectives and rationale 3. Process of care 4. Identifies personnel to deliver care 5. Defined initiation and monitoring of care 6. Documentation of care Standards: Common Components

  14. Standards of Practice • IMPERATIVE that they are established • Outline roles and competencies that guide practice • Links are proposed within the standards regarding basic and graduate education, clinical practice, continuing education and research

  15. Standards are the Foundation... Decisions are made for: • Defining appropriate levels of staffing • Establishing nutrition roles and responsibilities within an agency or organization • Determining core curriculum for dietetic education • Determining outcome of care influenced by nutrition intervention • Defining public policy on the role on nutrition in patient care

  16. National Working Group: Oncology Nutrition Standards of Practice • Working group consisted of interested members of DC Oncology Network in collaboration with the BCCA • Dietitians working in oncology • Teleconferencing efficient/effective in accomplishing work nationally

  17. National Working GroupMEMBERS • Karen Biggs MHSc, RD ON • Sandra Gentleman RDN BC • Angela Martens RD MB • Catherine Morley PhD, RDN, FDC BC • Charitini Orphanidou MSc, RDN BC • Satnam Sekhon RDN BC

  40. Well Deserved BREAK!

  41. Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology Nutrition

  42. CPGs: Agenda Clinical Practice Guidelines • Defined • The Practice Guideline Development Cycle • National Working Group • Work done to date • Future work

  43. CPGs…….. Defined Defined: • Systematically developed statements to assist practitioner and patient decisions about appropriate health care for specific clinical circumstances • Evidence based

  44. WHY… Do We Need CPGs • Evidence of unexplained and inappropriate variations in clinical practice patterns • Concern that further limitations in resources will effect the delivery of high quality health care • To assist clinicians in assimilating rapidly evolving scientific evidence into practice

  45. CPGs…… continued What We Know: • Attributes • Methodologic Rigour • Barriers to development/ implementation

  46. Practice Guideline Development Cycle • Facilitates a uniform approach to guideline development • Consists of eight well-defined steps • Expert panel required for relevant areas

  47. Practice Guidelines Development Cycle update 1. Select/frame clinical problem 8. Schedule Review 7. Adopt guideline, policies 2. Generate evidence-based recommendation (EBR) 6. Negotiate practice policies 3. Ratify EBR 4. Formulate practice guideline 5. Independent review Browman et al, 1995, JCO, 13(2), 502-512.

  48. 1. Select/Frame Clinical Problem Priorize/select topic Select outcomes Frame the problem 2. Generate EBR Search, gather and synthesize evidence Grade the strength of evidence Generate preliminary EBR Practice Guideline Development Cycle

  49. Levels of Scientific Evidence Level I Evidence RCT that are big enough to detect benefit Meta-analysis Level II Evidence RCT that are too small therefore showing trends Level III Evidence Formal comparison with nonrandomized controls Level IV Evidence Formal comparisons of historical controls

  50. 3. Ratify the Final EBR Reconcile differences in interpretation of evidence Document important opinions and reasons for them 4. Formulate Practice Guidelines Foster clinical flexibility and credibility through consensus building Practice Guideline Development Cycle
