“It is almost traditional for cancer care and chronic disease management to be siloed and for communication between oncology and primary care to be limited to templated medical notes,” said Samuel Cykert, MD, professor of medicine at UNC School of Medicine and co-chair of the Lineberger Equity Council. “There is very little real-time communication to delineate care responsibilities as care progresses and virtually no feedback loops to assure that concerns are addressed between the realms. This problem is exacerbated when cancer care is at an academic center and other care is in a separate system or community.”
