Abstract
Advanced practice providers (APPs) play a critical role in delivering high-quality patient-centered care within oncology. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network Best Practice Committee’s APP workgroup generated consensus principles to optimize the potential of APPs, promote professional growth, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and establish APP leadership structures within organizations to meet the evolving demands of oncology care. This article outlines the stepped approach to develop consensus-based principles to enhance the effectiveness of APPs providing oncology care.
