Chemotherapy Treatment Plan and Summary
|
ASCO’s chemotherapy treatment plan and summary templates were developed to help improve documentation and coordination of cancer treatment and survivorship care. They are intended to facilitate provider-to-provider and provider-to-patient communication - the templates may be distributed to patients or providers as records of the care planned and received. Importantly, the treatment plan and summary are not intended to replace detailed chart documentation, including complete patient histories or chemotherapy flow sheets.
Below are links to additional resources and information related to ASCO’s treatment plan and summary development. ASCO is preparing templates that capture these core elements for a variety of cancer diagnoses. All ASCO templates are published online in a modifiable format, allowing oncologists to customize and adapt them to suit their own practices; however, the core elements listed in Chemotherapy Treatment Plan and Summary Definitions define a treatment plan and treatment summary. ASCO volunteer members continue to develop additional templates and make updates. Please visit this page from time to time to access new and updated templates.

Treatment Plan and Summary Background Materials
The treatment summary is not intended to be, and should not be considered, a substitute for written or verbal communication, physical examination and history, or review of the complete medical record. Because the treatment summary will summarize parts of your patient’s medical record and treatment plan, it should be treated as confidential and used or disclosed only in accordance with federal and state privacy laws.
No single treatment plan or summary can be appropriate for all patients. Treating oncologists assume responsibility for tailoring the treatment summary to meet individual patient’s needs.
Use of the treatment summary is entirely voluntary. Use of this tool does not imply ASCO’s endorsement of any specific treatment or any product. ASCO is not responsible for any inaccurate or inappropriate use of the treatment summary.
