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.
Skilled Nursing Facility at Home is a multicenter randomized control trial that aims to evaluate a home-based model of providing post-acute care (PAC). We will enroll 650 hospitalized patients who require rehabilitation and/or skilled-nursing support upon discharge and randomly assign them to an intervention (home-based PAC) or control arm (facility-based PAC). Our design includes two different health systems in Massachusetts: Baystate Health and UMass Memorial Health. We will perform 1:1 randomization between the intervention and control arm using a permuted block design, with stratification by clinical site and payor group. The primary outcome of the trial will be the difference in hospital readmission and mortality rates from the time of enrollment to 30 days after enrollment. Secondary clinical, functional, and cost outcomes include length of stay in PAC, difference in health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and healthcare cost and utilization.
