mPal

Study Description

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of mPal, a multilevel implementation strategy to improve palliative care use among advanced stage lung cancer patients receiving cancer treatment.

Detailed Description: In this study, 60 advanced stage lung cancer patients will be randomized to mPal's patient-level component or usual care. Oncology providers will receive the mPal intervention. mPal is designed to help oncology providers integrate outpatient palliative care (non-hospice palliative care; NHPC) into routine clinical practice through: 1) electronic health record enhancements; 2) patient education and preparation for NHPC discussions when patients are in clinic to see their oncology providers; and 3) provider education about NHPC. This study will examine the feasibility and acceptability of mPal and gather preliminary data on potential outcomes for a future effectiveness trial.
