Interventions to Support Transitions in Care Among Patients With Cancer: A Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The cancer journey from diagnosis through survivorship is complex and involves care from many healthcare providers across a variety of settings. Navigating the transitions between care providers and settings can be improved through interventions. The objective of this study was to map and characterize evidence on interventions to improve transitions in care among patients with cancer.

Method

Six databases were searched to identify relevant studies that described or evaluated interventions to support transitions in care for patients with cancer. Data on the interventions, the type of transition in care, type of cancer, and outcomes (including measure of effectiveness) were abstracted. Data were synthesized and analyzed using descriptive statistics.
