Brief Summary

The proposed ONE TEAM Study is an 18-month, cluster randomized controlled trial. This study will use a sequential multiple assignment randomized trial (SMART) design with a second randomization for the intervention group using a dynamic treatment regimen approach. The investigators propose to randomize 800 adults with newly-diagnosed selected cancers treated with curative intent (breast, prostate, colorectal, endometrial, non-small cell lung, and endometrial) and with \>1 selected cardiovascular disease (CVD) comorbidity (hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia). Participants will be enrolled through Duke Cancer Institute and two community-based oncology practices, both settings serving socio-demographically diverse populations. The unit of randomization will be the PCP clinic; there will be \~80 PCP clinics across North Carolina involved in the study. The overarching goals of this study are to improve chronic disease management and communication among cancer survivors by engaging PCPs as active members of the cancer care team and reframing the message to cancer survivors and providers. A diversity supplement with retrospective and qualitative components has been added to abstract older adults with solid tumors who underwent cancer surgery at DUHS. Aims include (1) to estimate the prevalence of cardiovascular complications ≤90 postoperative days among older adults with solid tumors undergoing surgery, and its association with care coordination between surgical providers and PCPs ; (2) to develop a risk index for cardiovascular complications ≤90 days of surgery among older adult patients with a solid tumor; and (3) to Assess experience and perceptions of PCPs on care coordination with surgical providers of older adults with a solid tumor following cancer surgery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

  • HEDIS quality measure of management hypertension

    BP\<140/90 mmHg. Rather than use vital sign BP readings, which tend to have much variation, the research staff will measure the BP at the above time periods. The investigators will assess BP consistent with the TRUE Consortium standards.

    18 months

  • HEDIS quality measure of management of diabetes

    A1c\<8.0%. To evaluate diabetes management, the research team will measure fasting laboratory A1c at the time of each study assessment.

    18 months

  • HEDIS quality measure of management of statin use

    Statin use if patient is diabetic or has a 10-year ASCVD risk \>10%. To evaluate statin use, the research team will measure fasting laboratory lipid profile at the time of each study assessment.

    18 months

  • Patient-Centered Communication in Cancer Care

    Patient-reported Patient-Centered Communication in Cancer Care (PCC-Ca-36). The PCC-Ca-36 is a 36-item survey that measures one overall communication score, and six sub-domains that are consistent with our conceptual models:exchanging information, making decisions,fostering healing relationships, enabling patient self-management, managing uncertainty, and responding to emotions.

    18 months

  • Medication adherence

    Medication adherence will be measured as proportion of days covered, and the research team will obtain pharmacy refill data from the EHR. For participants followed by a Duke PCP, all refills (including refill date, amount, number of refills) are captured in Epic. For PCPs outside of Duke, the research team will use the Epic link with Surescripts which captures e-prescribed medications. Using this data, the investigators will calculate the PDC for an index medication from each medication class for the three CVD comorbidities, depending upon the number of CVD comorbidities a participant has. PDC is a measure of how many days a patient is in possession of their medication, calculated as the total number of days in a followup period divided by the total number of days that a medication was available (ratio of the number of days the patient is covered by a medication during a refill period).

    18 months

  • Diversity supplement primary outcome: 90-day postoperative cardiovascular complications

    any occurrence of myocardial infarction, stroke, venous thromboembolism (deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism), new-onset atrial fibrillation, heart failure or cardiopulmonary arrest within 90 days of surgery tracked with ICD codes.

iGuide Intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

40 PCP clinics; 400 patients

Behavioral: iGuide Intervention (Self-guided)Behavioral: iGuide 2 Intervention (Tailored/Targeted)

Interventions

The iGuide Intervention consists of two patient-level and four PCP-level components. These components include: (1) the patient-level brief video vignettes with a written summary; and (2) patient-facing webinars. The investigators will not use any institutional branding in the videos, printed materials, or recorded webinars so that these deliverables can be used in other settings.

iGuide Intervention

The iGuide2 patient-level intervention will use a stage-based, tailored approach to four monthly 5-minute video vignettes that incorporates a pre-video worksheet. The investigators will send the worksheets and video vignettes in the method preferred by the patient. The targeted iGuide 2 PCP-level intervention will include a cancer specialist-facing dashboard that includes the specialists's patients who are enrolled in the study and are in the intervention arm. The HEDIS quality measures for our three CVD comorbidities will be used. The dashboard will be populated with data available in Epic for the specific patient. If some information is missing (i.e., there is no lipid profile in the laboratory tab), the dashboard will query the PCP via an e-consult, asking to supply the information. Bimonthly, starting with the second randomization, an asynchronous specialist-to-PCP e-consult will be sent to PCPs whose patient(s) do not meet all three of the HEDIS quality metrics.

iGuide Intervention
ControlBEHAVIORAL

Participants randomized to the control group (n=400) will receive current guideline-concordant cancer care. The investigators will also provide information for healthy living during and after cancer and for preparing for transition from cancer therapy to follow-up care. Monthly, patient education material on healthy living will be sent to the participants via the patient portal or by mail, based on participant preference. At the completion of therapy, they will be provided the NCI Facing Forward:Life After Cancer booklet. Note, this approach is not fully equivalent to an attention control as there will be touch points in the iGuide and iGuide2 interventions that the investigators cannot match for the control group. Also, the research team will not engage the PCPs in clinics randomized to the control group.

Model Details: Investigators will use a SMART design with 2 randomizations - at the time of enrollment and after the 12-month measurement. At enrollment, participants will be cluster randomized to the self-guided multi-level iGuide intervention or control arm. An adaptive intervention will be used for the second randomization. PCP clinics in the intervention arm in which 90% or more of their participating patients do not meet the modified HEDIS quality metrics at the 12-month measurement will be considered 'non-responders' and randomized to a tailored/targeted intervention (iGuide2) or a control (iGuide).
