Enhancing Care Coordination in Oncology and Nononcology Thoracic Surgery Care Pathways Through a Digital Health Solution: Mixed Methods Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Health-system fragmentation in Quebec significantly impacts care coordination, leading to interruptions in patients' care pathways and adverse effects on their health. Coordinating interfacility service corridors is complex and requires collaboration between multiple health care providers (HCPs) and care settings. Effective care coordination is essential to ensure optimal patient management at transition points.

Objective

This study aims to improve oncology and nononcology thoracic surgery care pathways by enhancing care coordination during interfacility transfers through a digital health solution.

Methods

A multicenter implementation study was conducted across 2 health regions and 2 health care facilities in Quebec. We conducted 27 semistructured interview
