H.O.P.E: Helping Ovarian Cancer Patients Cope

Structured palliative care approach, defined as the gynecologic oncology team performing comprehensive symptom assessment with the Quality Data Collection Tool Palliative Care (QDACT-PC) and providing interventions based on National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines. Symptom scores above the acceptable threshold in the QDACT-PC tool that occur after two consecutive visits will automatically trigger palliative care consultation.

Usual care described as current practice by the gynecologic oncology team with referral to PC specialist at provider discretion or at the request of the patient or their families.
