This study focuses on improving interprofessional communication during cancer treatment, through an individual and hospital system intervention, to improve provider outcomes, patient care, and, ultimately, survival for children with cancer in low-resource settings.
Inclusion Criteria: * Hospitals identified as being in lowest quartile of communication quality, as defined by prior cross-sectional CritCom analysis and measured as the overall CritCom score. * All Global Alliance hospitals providing childhood cancer care will be eligible to participate. * Individual participants will be included if they care for hospitalized children with cancer at risk of deterioration. Exclusion Criteria: * None
The intervention will target multiple levels (provider, unit, hospital) and will respond to identified modifiable communication challenges. Aim 2 intervention mapping will finalize the specific intervention; we anticipate it will involve training and education of staff members and new unit protocols for communication.
