Implementation of a lung cancer multidisciplinary team standardised template for reporting to general practitioners: a mixed-method study.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES:Few interventions have been designed that provide standardised information to primary care clinicians about the diagnostic and treatment recommendations resulting from cancer multidisciplinary team (MDT) (tumour board) meetings. This study aimed to develop, implement and evaluate a standardised template for lung cancer MDTs to provide clinical information and treatment recommendations to general practitioners (GPs). Specific objectives were to (1) evaluate template feasibility (acceptability, appropriateness and timeliness) with GPs and (2) document processes of preimplementation, implementation and evaluation within the MDT setting. DESIGN:A mixed-method study design using structured interviews with GPs and qualitative documentation of project logs about implementation processe
