Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Knowledge gained by attending a multispecialty Survivorship Clinic which will be measured by comparison of self report with medical record data in both cross-sectional and longitudinal approach. | 12 months | In addition to data from patient interviews, a review of medical records will include general patient demographic data as well as data regarding cancer diagnosis, treatment and ongoing follow-up care. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| An analysis of differences in relative levels of recommended screening for late effects that childhood cancer survivors have received based on the type of their long-term follow-up care comparing medical records against Survivorship Care Plan. | 12 months | Scored responses will allow for quantitative analysis of differences within and between the cohorts of patients |
| A qualitative evaluation of program feedback will serve to improve the care provided in the REACH for Survivorship clinic | 12 months | This data will be evaluated qualitatively for trends. |
| Characterizing how the initial consultation in a specialized clinic impacts childhood cancer survivors' knowledge of their cancer diagnosis, treatment, and risk of late effects by comparing patient's understanding among 3 sampled timepoints. | pre-clinic and a post-clinic interviews at 1 and 3 months. | — |
