Trial Information

Pilot Trial of Telemedicine Evaluation for Stem Cell Transplant Patients


Inclusion Criteria:



- Patients who underwent or are planning to undergo a hematopoietic progenitor cell
transplantation for any disease.

- Participants must be able to read and understand English*

- Age over 18 years of age since this pilot trial is only being performed in the Adult
BMT Service Non-English speaking patients have been excluded in this pilot study
because we do not have the support for translation services at this time.
Additionally, the telemedicine instruments being used are not yet validated across
all languages.

Potential patients will be identified according to their medical condition, type and
complexity of stem cell transplant procedure performed, and distance from MSKCC.

The patients should:

1. minimal comorbidities,

2. be less than 75 years of age. These characteristics have been associated with good
understanding and acceptance of telemedicine in other pilot trials. These
characteristics will be assessed by the clinician.

Please note: Patients on other therapeutic protocols will be eligible for this protocol as
well.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Medically unstable patient as deemed by the treating team.

Type of Study:

Interventional

Study Design:

Outcome Measure:

Determine patient & physician acceptance of a "virtual medical visit" as a substitute for a "face to face" in pts in different settings. This is assessed by analyzing answers to questions 7 & 8 of the Patient Satisfaction Survey. [Question #7: I would

Outcome Description:

Question #8: Overall, I was very satisfied with today's telemedicine session.]Physician acceptance will be analyzed looking at the answers to question 19 of the Physician/Nurse survey in which the physician or nurse investigator relates the quality of the telemedicine visit. [Question #19: How would you rate the quality of the Telehealth visit to assess the patient compared to an in-person office visit?]
