Study Summary

The main purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effectiveness of "nudges" to clinicians, to patients, or to both in increasing Serious Illness Conversation (SIC) documentation; and to identify moderators of implementation effects on SIC documentation. The investigators will employ rapid-cycle approaches to optimize the framing of nudges to clinicians and patients prior to initiating the trial and mixed methods to explore contextual factors and mechanisms. The investigators will conduct a four-arm pragmatic cluster randomize clinical trial to test the effectiveness of nudges to clinicians, nudges to patients, or nudges to both in increasing the frequency and timeliness of SIC documentation in cancer patients vs. usual care (UC). The investigators hypothesize that each of the implementation strategy arms will significantly increase SIC documentation compared to UC and that the combination of nudges to clinicians and to patients will be the most effective.
