Study Summary

Cancer, and cancer treatment, cause many symptoms that can negatively affect quality of life. Despite the development of improved symptom management interventions and several evidence- and consensus-based guidelines, their timely delivery remains uneven in the health care system. Our research center, Northwestern University IMPACT (NU IMPACT), builds upon an electronic health record (EHR)-integrated cancer symptom monitoring and management system, currently deployed by our health care system. We are testing the effectiveness of a system-wide symptom management intervention and the EHR-integrated enhanced care approach, which offers a more personalized symptom monitoring and management experience based on a person's unique needs and language (i.e., English or Spanish).

Primary Outcome

Symptom severity will be assessed using Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) computer adaptive tests (CATs) related to symptoms of pain, fatigue, depression, anxiety, and physical function. CAT question items are dynamically selected for administration from an item bank based upon the respondent's previous answers. Patient usually completes 4-12 items with a high level of measurement precision for each domain.
