Encounter-based PRO monitoring
This arm consists of usual practice plus the addition of patient reminders to complete PRO questionnaires and triage nurse alerts for severe symptoms. Patient reminders will be operationalized through the Epic patient portal. Triage nurse alerts will be routed to Epic symptom management pools in response to a patient reporting moderate or severe symptoms. Patients will have the opportunity to decline or opt-out of triage nurse support. Clinical interventions stemming from triage nurse alerts will be up to the discretion of clinical teams - i.e., clinical responses will be neither prescriptive nor mandatory. Notably, the entry point for triage nurse alerts (i.e., Epic symptom management pools), as well as resultant clinical responses, are existing standard operating procedures/practices for patients reporting symptoms by phone.
Remote PRO monitoring
This arm will consist of weekly PRO questionnaires administered via the patient portal, de-linked from clinical encounters. Patient reminders will be operationalized through the Epic patient portal. Triage nurse alerts will be routed to Epic symptom management pools in response to a patient reporting moderate or severe symptoms. Patients will have the opportunity to decline or opt-out of triage nurse support. Clinical interventions stemming from triage nurse alerts will be up to the discretion of clinical teams - i.e., clinical responses will be neither prescriptive nor mandatory. Notably, the entry point for triage nurse alerts (i.e., Epic symptom management pools), as well as resultant clinical responses, are existing standard operating procedures/practices for patients reporting symptoms by phone.
