Education in this topic is important as AI is increasingly incorporated into care settings. Practitioners may not be aware of the way AI is currently being used or of its potential future application. Additionally, healthcare professionals need to be informed of the policy environment for the safe and effective use of AI in healthcare settings.

Traditional recruitment to clinical trials was accomplished by outreach from the treating physician or staff associated with the clinical trial. It is important for clinicians to be aware of the logistics and the value that a clinical trial matching tool can bring to presenting a person with cancer the appropriate clinical trial.

Intersectional stigmas in cancer care can exacerbate disparities by compounding the challenges faced by individuals who belong to multiple marginalized groups, leading to inequities in access, treatment, and outcomes. There is often a lack of consistent implementation of screening and support services that address the unique needs of marginalized patients, resulting in disparities in early detection, treatment, and follow-up care.

Although we have made some progress in ways of increasing clinical trial access to underserved communities, inequities persist. Education in this area is important because increasing access to clinical trials will have a positive impact on patient outcomes and help address current disparities in cancer treatment.

With the promise of artificial intelligence (AI) and its potential to positively impact healthcare, comes the challenge of how to assess the feasibility and value associated with implementation of AI tools.

With the increasing complexity of cancer care and the growing population of cancer patients, the need for skilled oncology nurses is more crucial than ever. Ensuring that oncology nurses are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge is essential for providing high-quality care and improving patient outcomes.

In a continuous effort to provide cost-effective, high-quality oncology care, varying degrees of telehealth delivery and remote patient monitoring are being piloted or have been implemented. Exploring this topic is a valuable exercise to help the oncology care team know what is currently being done and what is on the horizon.

Technology advancements in recent years have created many opportunities for improving patient access, including opportunities for self-scheduling. As practices are investing significant resources in this space it is important to understand the challenges, limitations, and impacts of these innovative approaches to solving patient access issues.

Patient navigation is highly variable; therefore, it is important to understand the factors that contribute to program success. It is also timely given the expansion of reimbursement for these types of services, as programs are looking at the sustainability of their programs and examining ways to better build or refine existing services.

Improving infusion center operations can help improve patient access and patient satisfaction. As cancer centers attempt to accommodate more patients, new strategies are needed to help ensure the delivery of high-quality and efficient care.
