Communicating with primary care providers (PCPs) could improve rates of childhood cancer survivors who receive guideline-recommended survivorship care. We aimed to assess the feasibility and acceptability of an interactive, structured telephone handoff between a nurse coordinator and PCP clinics about survivorship care needs of shared patients who were ≥2 years post-treatment and had attended the survivorship clinic. A nurse coordinator successfully contacted 40 (87%) of 46 PCP clinics for a brief (median 5 min, range, 4-11) handoff, all of whom rated the call helpful. Research is needed to better assess the impact of this handoff on the receipt of survivorship care.
