Numerous calls for improvement in the quality of follow-up care provided to cancer survivors, particularly survivors of childhood cancer have been issued by key health organizations in the USA; the Passport for Care (PFC) is a web-based support system for survivor care that was developed in response. In this Perspectives, key individuals involved in the development of this support tool for clinical decision making outline the programme, describe how it compares with similar guidance tools, and discuss the potential implications of the PFC for survivorship care. The challenges encountered and the lessons learned during development and deployment of the PFC are also highlighted.
