The Big Picture

Did you know that over 72% of Kansas cancer survivors who have completed their cancer treatment receive the majority of their health care from Primary Care Providers?

Doctor and Patient

Evidence-based guidelines exist for cancer survivorship care, but implementation in rural practices has fallen short. Providers describe a lack of basic awareness of risk-based surveillance, effects of cancer treatment and their management, as well as inadequate resources and growing administrative demands as reasons for not working to improve cancer survivorship care. ​In a preliminary study (iSurvive), providers expressed the need to implement guideline-informed management and follow-up for survivors in acute and extended phases of cancer care.

How will Kansurvive improve cancer survivorship?

Kansurvive provided four Project ECHO® tele-mentoring sessions led by an interdisciplinary team of specialists to facilitate learning and develop a community of practice.

Kansurvive aims to improve cancer survivorship care delivery by helping participating practices:

  • Assess the gaps in care for cancer survivors

  • Identify the educational and training needs to help close gaps in care

  • Map workflow / data capabilities of the practice using quality measures​

What does participation involve?

Medical Team

Onboarding 

This first step will include an introductory meeting with your team and ours via Zoom. It's our chance to introduce the project in a little more detail and give you plenty of time to ask all the questions.

 

​​ECHO Learning Sessions

The ECHO learning sessions are the intervention of this project. You and your team will attend 4 learning sessions via Zoom.

​​​

Pre- and Post-Data Collection

A representative of your clinic will conduct "light" data collection by reviewing at least 20 charts and entering information into a secure, online REDCap database. Data collection will occur prior to the ECHO learning sessions and at 15-months after the ECHO sessions have ended.

​

A Data Use Agreement is required in order for your to share this unidentified data with our team. Our project manager will assist with this process.
