Figure 1 depicts the PSM of care. The PSM is not a
stand-alone plan for survivorship care but is designed to
be incorporated into existing and emerging multidisciplinary
survivorship care. Comprehensive rehabilitation
assessment is not accomplished in a single visit, and ideally
patients will be seen for multiple visits during and after
cancer treatment.
The two primary components within the PSM, generally
extrapolated from the Chronic Care Model,83 are:
1) impairment identification and management, including
comanagement of treatment effects with other members
of the oncology care team; 2) health-promoting skills and
behaviors. A summary of the key features of these components
are outlined below.
