About

The purpose of this single institution pilot study is to determine the feasibility of implementing an eHealth prostate cancer surveillance program through the eVisit electronic medical record patient portal. The investigators will assess patient compliance and satisfaction with eVisit follow up care in lieu of in person clinic visits.

Full description

Telehealth offers the opportunity to transform cancer surveillance into a patient-centered effort with shared leadership between patient and oncologist. Peer-to-peer electronic communications can improve the collaboration between oncologist and primary care provider (PCP) as patients transition back to primary care as their primary health provider. The investigators propose to test a patient-centered eHealth surveillance program utilizing novel asynchronous telehealth tools to provide patient-reported outcome symptom monitoring using the electronic medical record's patient portal (eVisit).
