The purpose of the study is to characterize baseline multidisciplinary tumor board (MDTB) context and variability, evaluate the relationship between baseline fitness of patients with cancer and initial treatment recommendations, and assess the impact of the INSPIRE intervention, which involves including electronic patient reported outcomes (ePROs) within MDTB on MDTB discussion content, provider burden, treatment recommended and received, healthcare utilization, and patient-reported outcomes.
Study Type/Design This multi-methods study will include two participant groups: patient participants and clinician/provider participants. The patient portion includes an initial prospective observational cohort followed by a randomized controlled trial of the INSPIRE intervention, which involves inclusion of electronic patient-reported outcomes in tumor board discussions. The clinician/provider portion includes audio recording of multidisciplinary tumor board discussions and an optional post-study semi-structured interview with clinicians/providers to understand experiences with the INSPIRE in…
Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria: We will include two populations: (1) patients and (2) clinical team members involved in the MDTB. Inclusion Criteria: * Inclusions Criteria- Patients: 1. aged 18 years or older; 2. with suspected or confirmed diagnosis of pancreatic, breast, and gynecologic cancer (all stages) within 8 weeks of diagnosis; 3. intention to be treated at a participating institution; 4. with verbal fluency in English or Spanish; and 5. scheduled to be discussed at MDTB. * Inclusion criteria - Clinicians: All clinical team members participating in the pancreatic, breast,…
