Immunotherapy & Me
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Cancer
In brief
Immunotherapy \& Me is a pilot study to determine patient and provider needs around immunotherapy treatment, and to determine the most meaningful resources to improve patient outcomes and decrease cost. Specifically, this study aims: 1. To determine whether layering in customizable resources at the point-of-care that offer healthcare providers care-management tools to give their immunotherapy patients leads to changes in (a) patients' knowledge, attitudes, and health behaviors (including self-reported measures of self-efficacy and empowerment, cancer-related distress, quality of life, and satisfaction with the programs offered) and (b) improved clinical outcomes (including decreased hospital admissions, decreased hospital readmissions, and decreased costs associated with hospitalizations). 2. To successfully integrate the Immunotherapy \& Me program within oncology practices to provide a model framework for dissemination across other care providers. Once success is demonstrated, a turn-key model of immunotherapy patient support can be expanded to other oncology care systems.
