研究概览
简要总结
This pilot clinical trial studies how well telehealth works in patients during post radiation therapy visits. A telehealth virtual office visit can be performed from the patient's home or workplace, decreasing time spent traveling to visit site, time spent in waiting room, and cost to patient. Studying telehealth may improve quality of life in patients during post radiation therapy visit.
详细描述
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To examine feasibility of conducting a trial comparing a telehealth visit and an in person office visit.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To examine patient satisfaction, patient assessment of physician communication during a telehealth visit.
II. To examine patient distrust in the healthcare system following a telehealth visit.

结局指标
主要结局
Feasibility of Conducting a Future Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing Telehealth and in Person Visits (i.e., Rate of Accrual)
时间窗: 24 months from first patient enrolled
The number of patients accrued each month will be analyzed via Poisson regression. The mean (monthly rate) will be estimated and tested against the null value of 4 patients per month using a 1-sided test with alpha 0.05. The proportion of enrolled subjects who are lost to follow-up will also be summarized.
