RECRUITING

Integrated Telemedicine Program Evaluation

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This project will evaluate a virtual, on-demand telemedicine program for High emergency department (ED) utilizers with comorbid physical health conditions and behavioral health correlates. Researchers will randomize patients to have either full access to the full intervention (treatment group) or to receive only standard care (control group). Analyses will be intent-to-treat. The primary outcome is the number of ED visits 120 days after the first Best Practice Alert (BPA) firing. The research team plans to enroll 3200 patients in this study. However, randomization may end due to system constraints on December 31, 2025 before reaching that target. This sample provides 80% power to detect a 35% relative reduction in ED utilization using a two-tailed test with an alpha of .15, assuming 40% compliance with the program.
