The quality of cancer care may be compromised in the near future because of work force issues. Several factors will impact the oncology health provider work force: an aging population, an increase in the number of cancer survivors, and expansion of health care coverage for the previously uninsured. Between October 2014 and March 2015, an electronic literature search of English language articles was conducted using PubMed®, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Sciences (CINAHL®), Web of Science, Journal Storage (JSTOR®), Google Scholar, and SCOPUS®. Using the scoping review criteria, the research question was identified “How much care in oncology is provided by nurse practitioners (NPs)?” Key search terms were kept broad and included: “NP” AND “oncology” AND “workforce”. The literature was searched between 2005 and 2015, using the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 29 studies were identified, further review resulted in 10 relevant studies that met all criteria. Results demonstrated that NPs are utilized in both inpatient and outpatient settings, across all malignancy types and in a variety of roles. Academic institutions were strongly represented in all relevant studies, a finding that may reflect the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) duty work hour limitations. There was no pattern associated with state scope of practice and NP representation in this scoping review. Many of the studies reviewed relied on subjective information, or represented a very small number of NPs. There is an obvious need for an objective analysis of the amount of care provided by oncology NPs.

“…Nurse-led survivorship clinics, as described, were mostly hospital based and delivered a number of interventions including: information; symptom management; psychosocial support; allied health referrals and health promotion strategies [27]. They can involve longer consultations and more frequent patient contact [27,6].…”

“…Characteristically, hospital based follow-up care is commonly specialist-led, with often no end point [27,29]. Survivors may acquire an impression the specialist has become their primary carer, particularly if they have assessed and treated comorbid conditions during the treatment phase [7].…”

“…In total, 14 articles were included in this review. Eight articles described and proposed different models of survivorship care [27,28,1,5,29,30,9,7] (Table 2). An additional six articles reported the use of a range of models of care for haematology cancer survivors: two reported nurse-led studies [31,32] and four referred to physician-led studies [33,8,34,35] (Table 3).…”

(2015) Models of survivorship care provision in adult patients with haematological cancer: an integrative literature review. Supportive Care in Cancer, 23(5), 1447-1458. doi: 10.1007/s00520-015-2652-6 The final publication is available at Springer via http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00520-015-2652-6 Results: Fourteen articles were included in this review. Eight articles proposed and described models of care and six reported the use of a range of survivorship models of care in haematology cancer survivors. No randomised controlled trials or literature reviews were found to have been undertaken specifically with this cohort of cancer survivors. There was variation in the models described and who provided the survivorship care.Conclusion: Due to the lack of studies evaluating the effectiveness of models of care, it is difficult to determine the best model of care for haematology cancer survivors. Many different models of care are being put into practice before robust research is conducted. Therefore welldesigned high quality pragmatic randomised controlled trials are required to inform clinical practice.
