Sperimentale: Provider Unrelieved Symptom Alert
Patients in the intervention arm called the automated monitoring system daily to report presence, severity and distress on a 1-10 scale for nine symptoms.
The system immediately sent an emailed symptom alert report to their oncologist and oncology nurse if symptoms exceeded preset thresholds (moderate to severe levels).
Two thresholds were set: a simple alert when severity or distress was 4 or greater on the 10 point scale and trend alerts based on a pattern of moderate severity over several days.
|
The Provider Unrelieved Symptom Alert intervention sent an automatic symptom report to oncology providers (both physician and nurse) when the patient reported symptoms at a moderate to severe level (4-10 on a 0-10 scale).
The oncology providers used their clinical judgement in terms of what they did with the information received.
There was no prescribed response as part of the intervention.
|
|
Nessun intervento: Attentional Control Usual Care Group
Patients in the usual care group called the automated monitoring system daily to report presence, severity and distress (1-10 scale) on 9 symptoms and also measured symptom interference with daily activities, functional status, work attendance, and unscheduled provider visits, urgent care and emergency department visits, and unscheduled hospitalizations.
The usual care group received equivalent contact time with the automated system including identical voice and assessment questions.
Data were not available for clinical action and not reported to the oncology providers.
On every call, usual care participants were reminded to call their oncology provider if they had symptom concerns, which is the usual practice in oncology settings to address unrelieved symptoms.

Medical Encounters Telephone Interview
Lasso di tempo: participants will be followed for an expected average of 6 weeks
|
When a patient reports during their daily phone call with the automated symptom monitoring system that they had been in contact with a health care provider, the research staff would conduct a short telephone interview to collect data about the nature of the medical encounter including whether the medical encounter was related to the symptoms being monitored by the system.
|
participants will be followed for an expected average of 6 weeks

Functional Status
Lasso di tempo: monthly for the duration of the study, participants will be followed for an expected average of 6 weeks
|
The SF-12 was administered monthly to measure functional status.

|
Work Attendance
Lasso di tempo: reported daily, participants will be followed for an expected average of 6 weeks
|
Patients who indicated at study enrollment that they planned to work during treatment answered a yes/no question during the automated symptom monitoring system call to report whether or not they worked the previous day.

Patient End of Study Telephone Interview
Lasso di tempo: administered at the end of participation in the study, participants will be followed for an expected average of 6 weeks
|
An End of Study Telephone Interview was conducted at the end of a patient's participation in the project to obtain data on patient satisfaction with the symptom monitoring system and to obtain suggestions for improvement of the system.

Provider End of Study Interview
Lasso di tempo: Once, at the end of participation which is an expected average of 24 months
|
At the end of the study, participating providers were interviewed regarding the acceptability and use of the symptom alert reports and their suggestions for improvement.
