Integration of Exercise Into Cancer Care: A Shared Care Model
Status unconfirmed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Cancer
In brief
Multiple organizations endorse physical activity for cancer patients; however the structure for oncologist prescribed exercise has not been clearly established. A focus group study previously conducted at Gundersen Health System identified a patient preference for integrated care surrounding physical activity. Thus, the focus of this study will be to investigate the effects of a shared care model on the physical activity levels of cancer patients. The shared care model will consist of regularly scheduled visits with the patient's oncologist in combination with a clinical exercise physiologist. The clinical exercise physiologist (CEP) will assist in developing an individual activity plan with the patient. The Investigators predict the shared care model patients will have a higher level of activity, functional capacity and quality of life.
