Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Goal Setting Survey

  The goal setting survey includes multiple choice, Likert type and open-ended questions with respect to the feasibility and acceptability of Goal Attainment Scaling. The questions focus on the impressions and experiences of patients and care partners (in Arm A and Arm B), and the study doctors when conducting interviews using GoalNav® EDC with and without goal inventory. The percentage of participants agreeing with statements with respect to ease of use, time commitment, etc. will be the unit of measurement. The answers to the open-ended questions will also be qualitatively analyzed.
