Practices and Organizations Related to Emerging Occupations of Care (EPOCK) Coordination in Oncology
- Conditions
- Care Coordination in Oncology
- Registration Number
- NCT03350776
- Lead Sponsor
- University Hospital, Bordeaux
- Brief Summary
Several stakeholders are implied in cancer care pathways and there is a need for coordinating their actions. New occupations of care coordination have thus emerged. However, the conditions of their efficiency have been too few reported and included discrepancies between reports. In this context, the main objective is to propose a modeling of care coordination and associated emerging occupations (nurse-based) by comparing theoretical expected outcomes to professionals, patients and caregivers representations.
- Detailed Description
Several stakeholders are implied in cancer care pathways and there is a need to coordinate their actions. New occupations of care coordination have thus emerged, such as nurse coordinator in France (IDEC: Infirmière de Coordination). However, the conditions of their efficiency are not well known. Moreover, several other complementary approaches and nurse occupations have to be identified because of their contribution to care coordination (IDE TAS, IPO, IDE AMA, IDE-CO, IDE HAD-CAD, IDE ETP)\*. Finally, all together, these interventions of care coordination appeared as complex and asked for a theoretical model. Because of this high variability of the practices, without an underlying model, the impact of care coordination on patient quality of life, safety and efficiency of care is difficult to assess. In this context, the main objective is to propose a modeling of care coordination and associated emerging occupations by comparing theoretical expected outcomes to professionals, patients and caregivers representations.
The pilot observational study is based on three distinct stages: (1) the definition of care coordination in oncology using a literature review and a Delphi consensus study; (2) the description of practices, contexts, perceptions and attitudes related to care coordination occupations in oncology using a qualitative and a cross-sectional quantitative survey; (3) the comparison of the practices to the theoretical model to propose a modeling of care coordination occupations in oncology.
