Comprehensive Connected Cancer Care (C4): Intervention Evaluation
Purpose
The C4 program aims to provide a multi-level intervention program (Patient Level, Healthcare Team and Healthcare System Level) that improves the coordination of care with supportive/ancillary care providers and community services through the use of patient navigation and a digital needs assessment and a closed-loop referral system and improves patient-centered communication and engagement in care through skills training for the healthcare team and provision of culturally appropriate patient educational tools and resources. The program components incorporate three areas that are critical to improving patient-centered care: coordination of care, patient-centered communication and engagement, and psychosocial care and other supportive services.

Arm Groups
| Arm | Description | Assigned Intervention |

No Intervention Baseline Phase |
Each site will complete an 18-month Baseline Phase, in which patients and sites are observed during a period of usual care, prior to introducing the C4 Program intervention. In this phase, a sample of newly diagnosed patients will be recruited and enrolled in the Baseline Group, and data will be collected on them via patient surveys and EHR data abstraction over a period of four months for most outcomes, except for overall survival, which will be assessed at 12 months after diagnosis |
|
|
Experimental Implementation |
new sample of newly diagnosed patients (excluding anyone from the Baseline Phase) will be recruited and enrolled in the Implementation Group, and the same data will be collected on them that was collected in the Baseline Group, at the same time points |
