Formulating Expert Consensus Guidelines in Cancer Care Using the Delphi Method

Description

This study formulates consensus agreement on clinical key elements related to prostate cancer care that are critical for standardization and global reported using a robust Delphi technique, completely remote and electronic. The goal of this survey study is to have a panel of specialty-specific experts create a consensus agreement on a minimum set of key data elements for use in standardized reports. These recommendations would be used to develop standardized methods to report key data in electronic health records to better manage cancer patients at time of diagnosis, treatment, follow up, and into survivorship.

Conditions
