Patients who preferred a traditional F2F-appointment were seen at the outpatient clinic.

Patients who preferred a video consult were seen over a video connection.

A two-way audio and visual connection between patients and surgeons

Video consultation

The aim of this study was to compare the willingness to use and attitude towards VC amongst both patients with colorectal cancer and healthcare providers during follow up care. Second, to determine the satisfaction with the quality of the healthcare provider and the usability of the used VC technology. 50 patients will be asked to choose between video consultation or face-to-face contact at the outpatient surgical clinic.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, patients originally randomized to the in-person group received telemedicine visits. Thus, the researchers will expand our sample for these interviews to include patients who have completed at least 2 telemedicine follow-up visits whether they were originally randomized to the in-person group or the home telemedicine group.

Patient will be seen in-person (i.e. an IR/NV or AFX visit) in the clinic by a Supportive Care Specialist for at least 3 follow-up visits over 14 weeks. Any patients randomized to the in-person group who experience an extraordinary burden and/or are physically unable to attend their in-person visits will be able to be seen by their Supportive Care Service clinician via a home telemedicine visit (patients will return to their original group assignment if possible).

In-person in clinic follow-up visit

i. Patients will be seen by video telemedicine at home by a Supportive Care Specialist for at least 3 follow-up visits over 14 weeks.

ii. Patients will have access to a clickable link that will initiate a video telemedicine call to the clinician's office. The clinical team will be responsible for answering such calls and for ensuring the clinician and the patient connect and begin the actual visit.

Telemedicine follow-up visit

This study will test whether supportive care follow-up delivered to cancer patients at home by telemedicine ("virtual" medical visits using telecommunications technologies) is as effective as in-person supportive care visits in the clinic.

The protocol was developed and initially implemented when the standard of care for Supportive Care (and oncology) follow-up at MSK was in-person visiting and home telemedicine was only in an early stage of use at the institution. During the COVID-19 crisis, all outpatient Supportive Care visits and most oncology visits at MSK have been handled via telemedicine to protect patient (and staff) safety.

Noninferiority, randomized, controlled trial (RCT) in which all patients will meet with a supportive care specialist in-person for the initial clinic visit, and then receive follow-up supportive care visits either in-person at clinic or via home video telemedicine.

will be used to quantify health-related quality of life at baseline and Week 14 after randomization. All items in the FACT-G use a 5-point scale (0=Not at all to 4=Very much) and the total score sums four subscales and ranges from 0-108 (higher=better QoL). Change in total score at Week 14 after randomization vs. baseline.
