How frequently must cancer committee goals be reviewed and assessed?

The correct frequency for reviewing and assessing cancer committee goals is two subsequent meetings within the year. This allows the committee to actively monitor progress and make adjustments as needed throughout the year, ensuring that the goals remain relevant and achievable. Regular review and assessment contribute to the overall effectiveness of the cancer program and help maintain compliance with the Commission on Cancer standards.

Meeting twice within the year provides a structured approach while not being overly burdensome. This frequency allows for proactive management of the goals, helping the committee to identify issues early and make necessary modifications rather than waiting until the end of the year.

Other options suggest either more frequent reviews, which may be impractical and lead to meeting fatigue, or annual reviews that could limit responsiveness and flexibility in managing the cancer program goals. By focusing on two regular assessments, the cancer committee can strike a balance between oversight and operational efficiency.
