Brief Title: My Team of Care: a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial of an Online Communication Tool for Collaborative Care
Official Title: My Team of Care (MyTOC) Trial: a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial of an Online Communication Tool (Loop) for Collaborative Care in Complex Patients
Study ID: NCT02372994
Brief Summary: This project will pilot and test a new online communication tool, Loop, developed within a research framework with participatory and user-centred design. This pilot trial focuses on advanced cancer as an example of complex care. Cancer care involves many healthcare providers, spanning hospital to home. There is no organized way for them to communicate. Loop is a practical tool for ongoing collaboration in the patient's actual team of care that engages patients. The study will answer the questions: does Loop improve communication efficiency, engage patients and family physicians, and show early benefits in quality and health care costs?
