Study Summary

Develop a Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC)-specific electronic Treatment Plans (TP). Phase 1: Aim 1a: Patient interviews along with navigator, nurse, and physician focus group discussions will be used to identify factors that influence decision-making in treatment selection and the optimal approach for sharing information about prognosis and guideline-based care. Identify decisional needs for Shared Decision Making (SDM) in MBC. Investigators will conduct semi-structured interviews/discussion groups with patients, navigators, nurses, and physicians to elements important to decision-making. Phase 2: Aim 1b: Develop MBC-specific TP. Investigators will build upon Aim1a to systematically develop the TP intervention using the Ottawa Decision Support Framework. Investigators will test the TPs with 5 patients and conduct qualitative investigations to refine the TP using an iterative process. Phase 3:Further explore decision-making related to reducing amount of chemotherapy for patients with good prognosis.

Primary Outcome

Shared decision making occurs when patients are informed of risks and benefits associated with treatment options and partner with their oncologist to incorporate their personal preferences and values into decision-making. Shared decision making in medicine can improve quality of care and reduce costs. This will be accessed using qualitative interviews and focus groups discussions. This is not a survey based study.
