Development and implementation of an academic cancer therapy stewardship program.

CONCLUSIONS: Our cancer therapy stewardship program yielded many useful insights into how our physicians face challenging clinical situations. It also helped to improve overall clinical quality and patient care by emphasizing the importance of value-based care and evidence-based medicine. Expanding this program will likely lead to many interesting experiments aimed at improving medical education and research, patient safety outcomes, and clinical quality.
