For presentations at a cancer conference, what is the relation of the number of presentations to the annual analytic caseload?

The relation of the number of presentations to the annual analytic caseload is established to ensure that facilities are actively engaging in research and contributing valuable knowledge to the field of oncology. Having the number of presentations equal to 15% of the annual analytic caseload provides a benchmark that encourages participation in conferences and dissemination of information about cancer care and outcomes.

This percentage reflects a commitment to sharing clinical experiences and advancements in cancer treatment, which is essential for the improvement of patient care and the education of healthcare professionals. It also supports the CoC's mission to enhance cancer care quality through collaboration and knowledge sharing among cancer programs.

By requiring that the number of presentations be equal to 15% of the caseload, the standard not only fosters a culture of accountability but also ensures that cancer programs are reflecting on their practices and outcomes, allowing for continual improvement in cancer treatment protocols and patient management strategies.
