Overview

The exploration of end-of-life quality of care stands to enhance the planning process for cancer patients, thereby easing the burden on both patients and their families. This inquiry will investigate whether comprehensive discussions regarding end-of-life planning should commence at the time of diagnosis or if patients undergoing ICU care or novel chemotherapy regimens prior to death align with their preferences. Utilizing this research, our institution aims to optimize care for these patients while honoring their end-of-life wishes.

Key Study Components

Data Collection Plan:

This study will target a specific demographic—adults aged 18 and above diagnosed with cancer. The data collection process is estimated to span two to three weeks, ensuring thoroughness and accuracy. Retrieval of essential information will involve scrutinizing Electronic Health Records (EHRs) from local medical facilities and our clinic.

Data Security Plan:

Adherence to strict confidentiality protocols is paramount. All staff involved in this research endeavor will undergo specialized training and sign documentation attesting to their compliance with confidentiality, security, and privacy standards. Additionally, consent from patients and/or their kin will be obtained prior to accessing their medical records.
