Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare nurse-led care coordination for persons receiving cancer chemotherapy treatment incorporating mobile health technology to nurse-led care coordination without any mobile health enhancements.

Detailed Description

This study will randomize sixty (60) participants receiving cancer chemotherapy treatment to receive nurse-led care coordination using a HIPAA-compliant mobile health platform compared to no technology-enhanced care coordination.

All participants receive nurse-led care coordination throughout chemotherapy treatment.

RESEARCH AIMS:

* Demonstration of a HIPAA-compliant social networking platform;

* Facilitate communication and collaboration among patients with cancer and their care team;

* Assess patient health outcomes (chemotherapy-related physical and psychological side effects; pain, quality of life and patient satisfaction)
