Brief Summary
FRAME is a patient-centered survivorship care model embedded in routine oncology visits. It consists of: (1) a pre-visit patient-reported questionnaire (FRAME-PRO), (2) a clinician-patient dialogue guided by the responses, and (3) a tailored management plan including stepped-care referrals (general practitioner and municipality; oncology department supportive services; specialized late-effects clinics). The implementation is evaluated with the RE-AIM framework supplemented by Proctor implementation outcomes. Data sources include the "Mit Sygehus" app, departmental registries, purpose-built questionnaires, fidelity checklists, and qualitative interviews with clinicians, patients, and informal caregivers.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Proportion of oncologists who actively use FRAME in ≥50% of eligible outpatient visits.
Adoption
3 months
Secondary Outcomes (11)
Proportion of eligible outpatient visits with completed FRAME-PRO (via "Mit Sygehus").
Continuously during implementation (up to 6 months)
Change in proportion of visits/patients with referrals to supportive care units compared with pre-implementation baseline.
Up to 6 months
Change in patient-reported global quality of life measured on a Likert-like scale from 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent).
Up to 6 months
Degree to which clinicians and patients (a) open FRAME-PRO during the visit (yes/no), (b) discuss reported needs (yes/no), and (c) manage needs aligned with preferences (yes/no)
Up to 6 months
Perceived feasibility of active FRAME use among clinicians on a likert-like scale from 1 (not feasible) to 5 (very feasible)
6 months
- +6 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (1)
Single Arm - Department-wide implementation of FRAME
OTHERFRAME model (questionnaire + dialogue + management plan)
Interventions
Administration of the patient-developed FRAME-PRO prior to the visit; clinician-patient dialogue guided by responses; stepped-care management/referrals; documentation via standard EHR phrase. Implementation strategies include educational meetings/materials, ongoing training, audit \& feedback at weekly huddles, reminders/prompts, local champions, and local technical assistance.
