A survey of cancer affiliate network hubs in the US: goals, composition, resources, and evaluation
We found that cancer affiliate networks generally aimed to improve access and delivery of high-quality cancer care, with considerable variation in the activities used to achieve and evaluate progress toward these goals. As networks continue to operate and emerge, research is needed to identify best practices for optimizing networks' influence on the quality of care in resource-constrained hospitals and enabling effective scaling of the cancer affiliate network model.
