Supportive Care Service (WF 1803CD)

For a patient to be eligible for participation in this study, all of the following criteria must apply.

• NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) components/subcomponents providing care to adult oncology patients.
• NCORP components/subcomponents willing to: a) identify a supportive care leader knowledgeable about supportive care services that may be available to the practice and b) assist with the identification and recruitment of oncology providers for a brief provider survey.
• NCORP components/subcomponents who share staff and supportive care services may participate as a single practice group
• A staff member at each site who is most knowledgeable about supportive care services for adult oncology patients (e.g., Director of Manger of Psychosocial Oncology, Supportive Care Services, or Cancer Patient Support). If an administrator or leader cannot be identified, the nurse manager or clinic director will be asked to identify a staff member most knowledgeable about psychosocial or supportive care services for adult oncology patients or complete the survey himself or herself.
• Must be a physician, nurse, or physician assistant/nurse practitioner, who routinely provides cancer care to adult oncology patients, including medical, radiation and surgical oncologists or physician assistants (PAs), nurse practitioners (NPs), and nurses who work in oncology settings.
• Must have been in practice at component/subcomponent for at least 6 months.

A patient will not be eligible for participation in this study if any of the following criteria apply.

• Component/subcomponent exclusively care for pediatric oncology patients. Given the distinct caregiver experience and needs of caregivers of pediatric oncology patients, we are not including components/sub-components that exclusively provide care for pediatric oncology patients.
• Providers in practice less than 6 months.
