Official title
Implementing Pathways to Identify and Address Employment Concerns Among People With Cancer Across Diverse Clinical Settings
Overview
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a clinical workflow that screens adult patients with cancer for challenges at work and refers them to supportive resources is feasible, appropriate, and acceptable to patients and staff members in 2 cancer care settings. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is the clinical workflow feasible and acceptable to participants? Are study procedures feasible and acceptable to participants? Patient participants will complete 2 surveys: 1 at the time of enrollment and 1 six months later.
Detailed description
Investigators will conduct a prospective single-arm study at 2 sites to pilot and iteratively adapt a clinical workflow intervention, implementation strategies, and associated study procedures. Investigators will implement the clinical workflow intervention across each study site, then recruit consecutive patients (n=50) to complete patient-reported measures at 2 time points (T1: enrollment; T2: 6-month follow-up. Investigators will recruit staff members (n=20) to complete survey measures at 2 time points (T1: beginning of pilot study period; T2: end of pilot study period).
Interventions
