Sharing Colorectal Cancer Follow-Up Using an E-Care Plan Between Cancer Services and Primary Health Care.

Abstract

High quality, long term follow-up care for cancer patients needs to be coordinated, comprehensive and tailored to the diverse needs of patients. This study implemented shared follow-up care using an interactive e-care plan that provided a collaborative space to schedule and share goals, tasks and information and support the monitoring of care. Qualitative results identified good relational coordination. Increasing communication from the cancer service is important.
