Details and patient eligibility

About

This study will formally test the quality improvement intervention of an EMR based tool that informs medical oncologists visiting a patient for the first time of potential risk of chemotherapy toxicity.

Enrollment: 34 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 65+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• New outpatient visits with a medical oncologist following a new diagnosis of cancer and no prior history of chemotherapy treatment.
• aged > 65 will be included.

Exclusion criteria

• Patients who opt out of clinical research will be excluded from analysis, but not the intervention (which will be applied to all patients). Specifically, as sometimes opt-in/opt out status is coded ambiguously in the data we will only analyze results of patients with clear opt in and no history of opt out.
• Patients with no EHR data after initial oncologist appointment.
