Abstract
To provide the standard of psychosocial care for children with cancer and hematological disorders and their families, multidisciplinary teams must clearly define their scope and collaborate in ways that optimize the quality and efficiency of care. A new organizational structure was leveraged to delineate roles and scope for each psychosocial discipline at our institution. We developed a document, the scope of psychosocial care (SPC), that serves as a platform for making patient care decisions and provides opportunities for the reevaluation of programming. Herein, we present the process and outcome of the SPC and make recommendations for identifying roles in pediatric psychosocial hematology-oncology.
