Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue promotes a better understanding of how the research and health services practice relating to the burden of disease has evolved in the 21st century across health systems. Traditional research approaches provide an assessment of gaps in health services and methods for improving service inputs, processes and outcomes to respond appropriately to the burden of disease. Contemporary approaches include evidence of the benefits of innovation in health and care technologies to address challenges such as the impact of pandemics, financial crises, and environmental, safety and behavioral risks on population health and well-being. The implementation of mobile health (mHealth) solutions, electronic health (eHealth) interventions, cross-border care, and multidisciplinary, participatory and multi-stakeholder collaborations help to mitigate variability in clinical standards and procedures, healthcare-related inequalities and disease burden. However, in some contexts, shortages of an appropriate mix of skills and abilities in health and care workers, shortages of essential medicines, and rising health care costs threaten the sustainable fulfillment of human health needs and rights. Lack of integrative health planning and management intelligence also hinders the achievement of people-centered healthcare and universal health coverage. This Special Issue, in pursuit of the best practices, welcomes papers from different disciplines, especially authors from low- and middle-income countries.

Background: The study’s aim is to identify the models of care used to provide survivorship care plans (SCPs) to cancer survivors in healthcare services, describing what kind of professionals are involved, in which settings and timings, and their feasibility. Methods: The Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for scoping reviews is followed. Studies that considered the SCPs applying different models of care, in any healthcare setting on any adult cancer survivors who completed oncological treatments, have been included. Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Cinahal were searched from 2013 to 2023 with these keywords: “Survivorship Care Plan”, “Oncology”, and “Program”. The study selection process was reported with the PRISMA-ScR. A total of 325 records were identified, 42 were screened, and, ultimately, 23 articles were included. Results: The models of care include: SCP standardization in hospitals; self-support oriented; consultation-based; primary or specialist direct referral; shared care; a multimodal approach. Multidisciplinary teams were involved in the SCP models of care. The settings were private clinics or cancer centers. One-hour SCP interventions were most frequently delivered through in-person visits, by telephone, or online. Conclusions: Implementing SCPs is feasible in healthcare contexts, but with challenges, like time and resource management. Patient-centered programs promoting coordinated care are promising models of care. Full article
