Description
More than eighteen million people in the United States are living with cancer, and most also juggle other long term conditions and several doctors. Who coordinates their care is often unclear. Mary-Louise Millett and co-authors describe Project CASCADE, a trial protocol for testing a survivorship care program in eight Texas community health centers. These centers serve many uninsured patients. The program trains primary care clinicians through remote mentoring with specialists.
The program also changes clinic routines so survivors are identified and tracked, and their care is coordinated. The trial rolls the program out step by step across sites in random order, which lets the team measure both how well it is adopted and whether it works. The authors present primary care as the natural home for whole person survivorship care. They argue the study will show whether a system level program can deliver it in safety net clinics.
