Brief Summary

In this prospective quality improvement study, we will develop and evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of an online patient self-reported G8 screening tool which will allow us to efficiently identify G8 positive older cancer patients to be referred to our Senior Adult Oncology Center (SAOC) for a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA).

Conditions

Geriatric Cancer Patients

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Agree to using the G8 assessment

  To determine the feasibility of implementing an online patient self-reported G8 assessment, on new patients \>65y/o who are scheduled with the medical oncology department.

  At time of visit

• Complete the G8 assessment

  To determine the feasibility of implementing an online patient self-reported G8 assessment, on new patients \>65y/o who are scheduled with the medical oncology department.

  At time of visit

• 3. Complete the referred SAOC visits if they complete the G8 assessment and are screened positive

  To determine the feasibility of implementing an online patient self-reported G8 assessment, on new patients \>65y/o who are scheduled with the medical oncology department.

  After visit

Study Arms (1)

Cancer patients who are 65 years of age or older

An online self-reported G8 screening tool. The tool will have content including: 1) the purpose and benefit of the G8, 2) explanations of each question with examples and probes to help with recall, and 3) next steps after the G8 assessment is completed and how the results might impact their cancer treatments. New established older cancer patients will be invited to interact with the tool.
