Roadmap to Building a Survivorship Clinic

1.	Identify your position in the community – Are you a community hospital or an academic medical center, and is there a comprehensive cancer center?
2.	Understand the cancer survivor population in your catchment area – Will you be encountering disease specific adult survivors or young adult/adolescent and adult survivors of pediatric cancer?
3.	Describe the current practice landscape – Is anyone providing survivorship care and what are their gaps that you can collaboratively provide for more complex or coordinated care?
4.	Design a model that is feasible with the personnel, space and financial resources that you have – What gaps need to be filled to begin a program and what other institutional support, such as oncology and other multidisciplinary medical specialists, exists?
5.	Decide whether to start with long term cancer survivors or an immediate transition from cancer treatment – Do you want to start with the care of patients who are immediately transitioning from care completion or at a later stage from treatment completion?

Five key questions to guide the development of a survivorship clinic.
