Summary

The aim of the study is to establish the highest level of evidence to evaluate treatment summary and survivorship care plans (TSSPs) by piloting the TSSPs on patients with HNC.

Hypothesis: HNC patients who receive the intervention of the TSSP will have an increased rate of implementation of recommendations for their needs, greater adherence with follow-up schedules, improved quality of life and improved satisfaction with post-treatment care.

Aim 1 (Validation of TSSP): To validate a treatment summary and survivorship care plan (TSSP) intervention specifically tailored to the needs of HNC patients based on the best available evidence.

Approach: In the first phase of the project the investigators will pilot the London Heath Sciences Centre TSSP with head and neck cancer survivors and then have the TSSP extensively reviewed and modified by our multidisciplinary head and neck oncology treatment team.

Aim 2 (Evaluation of TSSP): To evaluate the implementation of a TSSP in survivors of head and neck cancer compared to usual treatment in a randomized fashion to determine whether TSSPs result in improved implementation of recommendations for HNC survivors and improved quality of life and satisfaction.

Approach: In the second phase of the project the investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial to compare patient reported outcomes in HNC patients who have received the TSSP to patients who have not received the TSSP.
