Summary

Cancer, and cancer treatment, cause many symptoms that can negatively affect quality of life. Despite the development of improved symptom management interventions and several evidence- and consensus-based guidelines, their timely delivery remains uneven in the health care system. Our research center, Northwestern University IMPACT (NU IMPACT), builds upon an electronic health record (EHR)-integrated cancer symptom monitoring and management system, currently deployed by our health care system. We are testing the effectiveness of a system-wide symptom management intervention and the EHR-integrated enhanced care approach, which offers a more personalized symptom monitoring and management experience based on a person's unique needs and language (i.e., English or Spanish).

BEHAVIORAL

Patient Self-management

Enhanced care (EC) approach aimed to engage participants actively, and to increase self-efficacy, in the monitoring and managing of their symptoms. After patients complete the current EHR-integrated symptom monitoring, they will receive web-based, patient-centered information to gain knowledge on cancer-related outcomes, improve self-management skills, improve communication skills, and empower them to improve motivation and self-management.
