Oncology Dashboard for the Improvement of Operational Efficiency and Patients Outcomes in Patients With Sarcoma

Sarcoma Clinical Trial

Official title: Study of Efficacy of Oncology Dashboard in Improving Operational Efficiency and Patient Outcomes

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This clinical trial investigates whether measuring and presenting information about a patient's cancer treatment to them, their doctor, and their radiologist using a tool called an "oncology dashboard" may help patients understand the disease better and help the patient's medical team manage their care more efficiently. The oncology dashboard tool may help patients understand the disease better and may help improve the efficiency of their medical care.

Clinical Trial Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To compare the changes in oncology workflow times from baseline to follow up visits between intervention (follow-up visit with oncology dashboard tool) and control (follow-up visit without oncology dashboard tool) groups.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To compare the changes in radiology workflow times from baseline to follow up visits between intervention (follow-up visit with oncology dashboard tool) and control (follow-up visit without oncology dashboard tool) groups.

II. Assess and compare the proportion of patients who correctly indicate the changes in tumor size while on therapy at the baseline and at the follow-up visit (with the oncology dashboard tool).

IIa. Compare the change in proportion of patients who correctly indicate the changes in tumor size while on therapy from baseline to follow-up visit between intervention and control groups.

III. Assess the patient's satisfaction with physician communication during the clinic visit and with the current treatment plan at each visit for each group.

IV. Assess changes in the radiology report quality with the following measures (all changes will be compared between intervention and control groups):

IVa. Whether or not the current study was compared to the imaging study that was performed at the start of current therapy.

IVb. The number of time points reviewed by the radiologist. IVc. The time interval between the earliest study reviewed and the current study.

IVd. Percentage of target lesions measured and listed in the radiology report. V. In patients who have stable disease or mildly progressive disease at the time of the baseline assessment, assess the impact of patient understand on the decision to continue and discontinue therapy.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 groups.

GROUP I: Radiologist records information from patient's recent scan into oncology dashboard. Patients view images of how disease may have changed over time on oncology dashboard.

GROUP II: Patients receive standard of care. ;
