Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This clinical trial utilizes the Project Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) model to recruit, train, and support community healthcare providers in cancer survivorship best practices. Cancer survivors have distinct medical needs and are more likely to report being in poor or fair overall health compared to those who do not report a history of cancer. There is a lack of educational opportunities focused on survivorship care for health providers. Although progress has been made with the development of survivorship guidelines, physicians continue to express barriers to addressing concerns of cancer survivors. This study is to utilize a Survivorship ECHO education intervention to assess its effects on provider knowledge and comfort with survivorship guidelines as well as greater adherence to guideline concordant breast cancer survivorship care recommendations.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
  1. Determine the effectiveness of the Survivorship ECHO's platform by assessing provider knowledge of cancer survivorship best practices using pre- and post-enrollment surveys.

  2. Evaluate implementation of survivorship best practices into clinical practice and documentation after enrollment in our Survivorship ECHO.

OUTLINE:

Participants attend 6 sessions of Survivorship ECHO educational intervention over 1 hour each, every 2 weeks for 12 weeks. Participants may optionally participate in a one-on-one interview to give feedback about the sessions over 30 minutes.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Change in level of understanding in key survivorship knowledge areas [Baseline up to study completion, typically 1 year]

      Includes knowledge on surveillance, late and long-term effects of chemotherapy, health promotion, disease prevention and psychosocial evaluation and support. A Likert survey will assess provider comfort and knowledge with core cancer survivorship competencies with higher scores associated with higher levels of knowledge and comfort.

    2. Met and unmet needs [Up to study completion, typically 1 year]

      Content, participant needs, and aspects of delivering the Survivorship ECHO platform explored using qualitative analysis.

    3. Acceptability of current structure [Up to study completion, typically 1 year]

      Content, participant needs, and aspects of delivering the Survivorship ECHO platform explored using qualitative analysis.

    4. Barriers to accessing ECHO [Up to study completion, typically 1 year]

      Content, participant needs, and aspects of delivering the Survivorship ECHO platform explored using qualitative analysis.
