Care Transition Intervention for Hospitalized Patients With Advanced Cancer

10. februar 2022 oppdatert av: Jennifer Temel, MD, Massachusetts General Hospital

Randomized Trial of a Care Transition Intervention for Hospitalized Patients With Advanced Cancer

This study is examining whether a care transition intervention, CONTINUUM (CONTINUity of care Under Management by video visits), consisting of a supportive care-focused video visit with an oncology nurse practitioner (NP) within three business days of hospital discharge, may improve post-discharge transitions of care for recently hospitalized patients with advanced cancer.

Detaljert beskrivelse

To address the rising incidence and burden of hospital readmissions for patients with advanced cancer, the investigators developed a population-specific care transition intervention based upon the scholarly literature and our qualitative study. The intervention, CONTINUUM (CONTINUity of care Under Management by video visits), consists of a video visit conducted by an oncology NP within three business days of hospital discharge, to: (1) reconcile medications, (2) manage symptoms, (3) review the post-hospital care plan for hospitalization-specific issues, and (4) schedule follow-up with the outpatient oncology team.

From 01/07/21 to 05/28/21, the investigators conducted a pilot trial of CONTINUUM in 48 patients with advanced cancer recently discharged from the Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center (NCT04640714). The investigators found that the intervention was feasible and acceptable in our population.

The investigators are now conducting a randomized controlled trial of the CONTINUUM intervention versus standard of care, to study whether CONTINUUM improves patients' confidence in managing their health condition, as measured by the Patient Activation Measure-13. The investigators will also assess the efficacy of CONTINUUM for improving patient satisfaction with clinician communication, and physical and psychological symptom burden. Lastly, the investigators will explore the effect of the intervention on hospital readmissions within 30-days.

Study procedures include random assignment to either the CONTINUUM intervention or standard oncology care following hospital discharge, questionnaires and medical record data collection.

Participants are expected to be on the study for up to 40 days after hospital discharge.

It is anticipated that about 286 people will take part in this research study.

Patients' Confidence in Managing their Health Condition using the Patient Activation Measure-13 (PAM-13)
Tidsramme: Baseline to 10-15 days after hospital discharge
Compare change in the PAM-13 from baseline to 10-15 days post-discharge between study groups. The PAM-13 is scored 0-100 with higher scores indicating greater confidence in managing one's health condition.

Tidsramme
Quality of Communication using the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) Communication subscale
Tidsramme: Up to 10-15 days after hospital discharge
Compare differences in CAHPS-Communication at up to 10-15 days post-discharge between study groups. CAHPS-Communication has a composite score (score range 0-20) with higher scores indicating better satisfaction. As recommended by CAHPS, we will also analyze specific differences in CAHPS-Communication individual items, which relate to patients' assessment of whether clinicians discussed 1) illness course expectations, 2) what is most important to the patient, and 3) how the treatment plan should match what is most important to the patient. These items are scored as "Yes" vs. "No" responses.
Up to 10-15 days after hospital discharge
Symptom Burden using the Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale (ESAS-r)
Tidsramme: Baseline to 10-15 days after hospital discharge
Compare change in the Edmonton Symptom Assessment System-Revised (ESAS-r) total score and physical sub-scale between baseline and 10-15 days of discharge between study groups. Scores on the ESAS-r range from 0-100 with higher scores indicating worse symptom burden. Scores on the ESAS-Physical sub-scale range from 0-70 with higher scores indicating worse symptom burden.
Baseline to 10-15 days after hospital discharge
Psychological Symptoms using the Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (PHQ-4)
Tidsramme: Baseline to 10-15 days after hospital discharge
Compare change in the Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (PHQ-4) between baseline and 10-15 days of discharge between study groups. The PHQ-4 is a 4-item tool that contains two 2-item subscales assessing depression and anxiety symptoms. Both subscales and the composite PHQ-4 score can also be evaluated continuously, with higher scores indicating worse psychological distress. Scores on each subscale range from 0 to 6.
