34、lly,patients should be screened for distress at every medical visit as a hallmark of patient-centered care.At a minimum,patients should be screened for distress at their initial visit,at appropriate intervals,and as clinically indicated,especially with changes in disease status(ie,remission,recurren
35、ce,progression,treatment-related complications).Distress should be assessed and managed according to clinical practice guidelines.Patients,families,and treatment teams should be informed that distress management is an integral part of total medical care and is provided with appropriate information a
36、bout psychosocial services in the treatment center and the community.Because experiences of prejudice and discrimination may contribute significantly to distress,particularly among individuals with mental illness and other groups that have been marginalized or made vulnerable,health care systems sho

38、ate the evaluation of these factors and inform care.Interdisciplinary institutional committees should be formed to implement standards for distress management.Educational and training programs should be developed to ensure that health care professionals and certified chaplains have knowledge and ski
39、lls in the assessment and management of distress.Licensed mental health professionals and certified chaplains experienced in psychosocial aspects of cancer should be readily available as staff members or by referral.Medical care contracts should include adequate reimbursement for services provided b
