Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
We will evaluate differences in measures of shared decision-making, aspects of quality of life, and symptoms of anxiety and depression in patients after the implementation of the Goings-On app as compared to the baseline. Furthermore, we will audiotape the first neurosurgical consultation (and the first neuro-oncological consultation will also be audiotaped for most glioma patients) to evaluate differences in content of information discussed and duration of the consultation after the implementation of the Goings-On app as compared to the baseline.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
As secondary outcomes, we will evaluate the symptoms and personal life goals recorded in the Goings-On app, the frequency and extent of the use of the app by brain tumor patients and their characteristics; as well as the usage of the dashboard by the clinical team, for which patients they use the dashboard, and draw a comparison of the characteristics of the patients for which they use it more versus less.
