Abstract

Population health efforts typically reach across subspecialties, ideally filling in healthcare management gaps from the patient’s or community’s perspective that should lower costs, improve access, and bolster quality. This case is a good example of the many differences between theory and practice. In 2012, Lifespan Healthcare System launched the Women’s Medicine Collaborative to address the gender-specific healthcare concerns of women. The aim was to develop an evidence-based, integrative cancer survivorship program to serve the needs of female cancer survivors and their families. This case examines the progress made, as well as the remaining development issues, as the program seeks to fulfill multiple stakeholder needs for improving gender-specific survivorship care. It is a classic case of more experimental initiatives that hold transformational promise, but must adjust to the realities of ongoing financial constraints and existing treatment paradigms.
