Cancer patients receive rehabilitation services in acute hospitalizations,
rehabilitation wards, outpatient rehabilitation facilities, and home settings.
Given the complexity and acuity of their medical care coupled with the long-term
effects of the cancer and its treatments, patient safety is a significant concern
in the delivery of rehabilitation services for this population. Cancer
survivorship is growing in importance as a significant number of adults and
children diagnosed with cancer are surviving beyond the 5-year mark. The goal of
this article is to provide an overview to rehabilitation clinicians on the topic
of patient safety in the rehabilitation of cancer patients.
