Implementing cardio-oncology services is supported by clinicians and administrators, who see benefits for cancer patient outcomes. Addressing barriers like cost and interdisciplinary collaboration is key for successful integration of these vital cardiac care services.
Area of Science:
- Cardio-oncology
- Oncology
- Cardiology
- Implementation Science
Background:
- Cardio-oncology services are crucial for managing cardiovascular risks in cancer patients.
- These services aim to improve cardiac care throughout the oncology patient journey.
- Understanding stakeholder needs is vital for successful implementation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess multilevel needs, barriers, and expectations for cardio-oncology services.
- To engage clinician and administrative stakeholders in service development.
Main Methods:
- Interviews with clinicians and administrators using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR).
- Web-based survey assessing knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of cardio-oncology services among regional clinicians.
Main Results:
- Stakeholders perceive significant benefits, including improved cancer patient prognoses (74% of surveyed clinicians).
- Key barriers include costs and organizational silos hindering collaboration.
- Discrepancies exist between cardiology and oncology providers regarding acceptable levels of cardiotoxicity risk.
Conclusions:
- Strong support exists for developing and implementing cardio-oncology services.
- Addressing identified multilevel barriers is essential for maximizing service success.
- Engaging diverse stakeholders in future development ensures relevance and uptake.
