"The right people at the right time": process evaluation of a novel allied health hospital in the home service for people with cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To perform a process evaluation of the acceptability, adoption, costs, feasibility, safety, timeliness, and satisfaction of a novel allied health program in Hospital in the Home (HITH) cancer services.

Method

A mixed-methods process evaluation using the proctor model for implementation was completed. Quantitative data from routinely collected service data, patient satisfaction surveys, and qualitative focus group data from cancer services' staff over a 6-month period were analysed. Quantitative data were described, and qualitative data thematically analysed and mapped to seven key domains: acceptability, adoption, costs, feasibility, safety, timeliness, and satisfaction.

Results

A total of 90 adults with cancer were referred to the allied health program in HIT
