Brief Summary

This clinical trial utilizes the Project Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) model to recruit, train, and support community healthcare providers in cancer survivorship best practices. Cancer survivors have distinct medical needs and are more likely to report being in poor or fair overall health compared to those who do not report a history of cancer. There is a lack of educational opportunities focused on survivorship care for health providers. Although progress has been made with the development of survivorship guidelines, physicians continue to express barriers to addressing concerns of cancer survivors. This study is to utilize a Survivorship ECHO education intervention to assess its effects on provider knowledge and comfort with survivorship guidelines as well as greater adherence to guideline concordant breast cancer survivorship care recommendations.

Conditions

Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Cell Neoplasm; Malignant Solid Neoplasm

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Change in level of understanding in key survivorship knowledge areas

  Includes knowledge on surveillance, late and long-term effects of chemotherapy, health promotion, disease prevention and psychosocial evaluation and support. A Likert survey will assess provider comfort and knowledge with core cancer survivorship competencies with higher scores associated with higher levels of knowledge and comfort.
