Summary

This project will evaluate the benefit of an automated home symptom monitoring system, Symptom Care at Home, to track COVID-19 symptoms, provide instructions to reduce COVID-19 exposure, and reduce cancer symptom severity during the COVID-19 pandemic. The investigators will determine if Symptom Care at Home decreases the need for cancer patients to use emergency departments and hospitalization for cancer symptom care. The project addresses the urgent public health need for cancer patients to reduce their risk for COVID-19 exposure.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

SCH Intervention

In addition to receiving usual care from their oncologist and staff, the SCH intervention group will report COVID-19 and cancer-related symptom presence and severity daily into the automated SCH system. Participants in the intervention receive automated self-management support messages for symptoms reported. In addition, COVID-19 symptoms and poorly controlled or worsening cancer symptoms will generate alerts. Based on preset thresholds, alerts automatically generate immediately from the patient's daily call data. The study nurse practitioners (NPs) monitor alerts. The NPs provide follow-up care using the guideline based SCH symptom clinical decision support system. The NPs log into the SCH Alert and Call Data website which displays all of the patients who have called that day and met an alert threshold. The NP calls the patient, delivers symptom management care by phone, and documents care in the patients' electronic health records.
