An Educational Intervention on Provider Knowledge for the Support of Cancer Survivors

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.

About this study

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

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

II. 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.

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in level of understanding in key survivorship knowledge areas

    Time frame: 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

    Time frame: 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

    Time frame: 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

    Time frame: Up to study completion, typically 1 year

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