Survivorship Care Plans in a Community Oncology Practice

Completed

• Conditions: Breast Cancer; Colorectal Cancer; Prostate Cancer

• Registration Number: NCT03028584
• Lead Sponsor: University of Wisconsin, Madison

Brief Summary

This is a two part observational study evaluating the feasibility of implementing an EHR-based model within a community oncology practice.

Detailed Description

Part 1: The research team will use a sociotechnical work systems model, developed by researchers at the University of Wisconsin (UW) Systems Engineering Initiative for Patience Safety (SEIPS), to guide analysis of the work system barriers and facilitators to implementing an EHR-based care planning model in community oncology practice, collected from direct observations.

Part 2: The research team will measure reach/maintenance (percentage of survivors with EHR-based survivorship care plans (SCPs) over a 9-month time period) and impact (pre/post survey of patient satisfaction and perceived care coordination).

Inclusion Criteria

• Clinicians: Are a physician, advanced practice practitioner, nurse, or equivalent
• Patients: Have a diagnosis of breast, colorectal, or prostate cancer for which and EHR-based SCP will be provided

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
EHR-based SCPs and care planning	Up to 2 years	Asses whether barriers to EHR-based SCPs and care planning have been mitigated, based on clinician survey.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Feasibility of providing EHR-based care planning, measured by SCP provision rates	Up to 2 years	Measured by SCP provision rates (percentage of survivors with EHR-based SCPs)
Feasibility of providing EHR-based care planning, measured by the EHR	Up to 2 years	Measured by survivor access to SCPs, per the EHR
Self-reported change in satisfaction, using survey	Up to 2 years	The impact of providing EHR-based care planning measured in change of satisfaction with perceived care coordination (assessed prior to and at 4 weeks after SCP provision)
Impact of providing EHR-based care planning	Up to 2 years	Measured by reported SCP usability, usefulness, and content (assessed prior to and at 4 weeks after SCP provision)
