Abstract:
This case management improvement project involved the provision of a transcribed summary of an initial clinic visit for elderly oncology patients at a rural satellite clinic. The aim of this project was to provide elderly patients at a rural satellite oncology clinic with a transcription of their encounter with the doctor and case manager when their diagnosis and treatment options were discussed. This project was introduced to improve communication and enhance satisfaction of the patients with their case management services. This low-cost intervention was implemented with 25 patients. Results demonstrated that the patient did express a high degree of satisfaction with this intervention.
