Number of Emergency Department Visits (Chart Review)

Health Care Coach Support in Reducing Acute Care Use and Cost in Patients With Cancer · Source last updated 2025-01-24

Results reported by the registry submitting party. Population, time horizon, units and missing values must be read together.

Measure: MEAN
Unit: visits
Interval / dispersion: Standard Deviation
Time frame: 6 months after patient enrollment

What was measured

Mean emergency department visits for each patient will be abstracted by electronic medical record chart review for each patient at 6 months after enrollment. We will evaluate comparisons of mean numbers of emergency department visits between study arms.

Groups in this outcome

Arm A (Usual Care)

Patients receive usual care. Best Practice: Receive usual care Laboratory Biomarker Analysis: Correlative studies Survey Administration: Ancillary studies

Arm B (Health Care Coach Support)

Patients undergo health care coach support with a baseline introduction (either telephonic or in-person) of the program followed by a visit (telephonic or in-person) with the health care coach after the first oncology appointment to discuss goals of care. The health care coach will contact patient based on patients' ongoing needs (weekly to monthly) and will conduct symptom assessments based on patients' treatment plans and symptoms. Laboratory Biomarker Analysis: Correlative studies Supportive Care: Undergo health care coach support Survey Administration: Ancillary studies
