BEHAVIORAL

Virtual Cancer and Mental Health Tumor Board

The Virtual Cancer and Mental Health Tumor Board intervention aims to increase access to psycho-oncology and oncology expertise, facilitate clinician communication, build understanding of the person's needs and strengths, and address barriers to care. Strategies include a proactive assessment of illness understanding, psychiatric history, and barriers to care followed by development of an integrated cancer and mental health treatment plan during the tumor board session that is framed in terms of patient values and addresses barriers to accessing psycho-oncology and specialty oncology expertise. These recommendations will be shared with treating oncologists, documented in the medical record, and shared with the patient. Patients will receive a transition phone call at 12 weeks.
