Electronic Symptom Monitoring Program for Triggered Palliative Referrals in Patients With Thoracic Cancer

Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. Develop and assess feasibility of a remote electronic symptom monitoring program with a prompted option for palliative care self-referral for patients or caregivers by proxy after diagnosis of a thoracic malignancy.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:

I. Evaluate palliative care referral patterns after implementation of a remote electronic symptom monitoring program.

OUTLINE:

Patients and their caregivers use the electronic symptom monitoring program to log symptoms once a week (QW) for 24 weeks. Patients and their caregivers also watch a video and review education materials prior to starting the remote symptom monitoring program.

After completion of study intervention, participants are followed up to 2 years.
