What is the minimum percentage of cancer committee meetings that each member must attend annually?

The minimum percentage of cancer committee meetings that each member must attend annually is established as 75 percent. This standard is designed to ensure that committee members are adequately engaged in the decision-making processes and activities pertaining to cancer care and quality improvement initiatives within cancer programs.

Regular attendance is critical for effective collaboration, knowledge sharing, and maintaining the momentum of the committee’s work. Members who attend at least 75 percent of the meetings are more likely to be informed about current issues, policies, and strategies that affect the cancer program. This level of engagement fosters a more effective committee that can better advocate for patient care improvements and fulfill the standards set forth by the Commission on Cancer (CoC).

While options that denote lower or higher attendance rates exist, they do not align with the CoC guidelines, which clearly outline 75 percent as the minimum required attendance to balance commitment and realistic participation levels.
