Monitoring/Data Collection
During the intervention period, members of the project team identified patients with new cancer diagnoses using the division’s diagnosis listserv and database. Per internal policy, an email is sent to the listserv to facilitate efficient coordination of care for patients with new or relapsed cancer diagnoses. Additionally, the certified tumor registrars maintain an oncology database in which each new diagnosis or relapse is noted. Utilizing these resources, the study team kept track of new patients meeting project criteria and monitored for PPC involvement and patient death.
