Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Patient Perceptions Around Quality of Care Through Telemedicine in Neuro-Oncology

Study Description

Brief Summary: This study evaluates patient perceptions around quality of care through telemedicine in neuro-oncology. Studying questionnaires related to perceptions quality of care through telemedicine in patients with brain cancer may help doctors to improve the delivery of care through this modality.

Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To evaluate the patient-perceived quality of care by group (telemedicine versus in-person visits) in patients with central nervous system (CNS) cancer. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To characterize the visits provided by telemedicine compared to those in-person. II. To contrast the average time spent on telemedicine visits compared to in-person visits, and the delay between visit order placement and visit occurring. III. To evaluate the domains of patient care addressed on a telemedicine visit versus in-person visit per documentation, including (1) treatment planning, (2) symptom burden, (3) goals of care. IV. To evaluate frequency of acute care sought (through emergency room or urgent care clinic) within 30 days of encounter in telemedicine visit versus (vs) in-person visit. V. The impact of patient and clinical characteristics on perceived quality of care in the context of covariate-adjusted modeling. OUTLINE: Patients complete a survey related to their perceived quality of care via telephone and have their medical chart reviewed prospectively.
