“…As illustrated in Figure 2, our participants' experiences highlighted the complex care steps and patient tasks encountered when coping with cancer as emphasized by Taplin and colleagues (Taplin, Clauser, Rodgers, Breslau, & Rayson, 2010;. Our patients' experiences began with managing complex clinical information.…”

Promoting patient-centered care from diagnosis to end of life requires a better understanding of physical, psychological, social, and spiritual coping factors in advanced cancer. Using qualitative methods, the authors explored diagnosis, care planning, and treatment experiences of individuals with metastatic colorectal cancer (N=26). The main physical factors salient to patients during all care phases included symptoms and physical functioning. Key psychological factors included persistent uncertainty and a range of emotions that varied by care phase. Participants also relied heavily on social and spiritual factors for guidance. Results highlight the complex nature of coping with advanced cancer and the resources needed to facilitate high-quality care.

“…Since the American health care system is layered, “build[ing] a research foundation that acknowledges this multilayer world” [28] is essential, and traditional modeling methods may fail to adequately capture its complexity. Further, practices inconsistent with evidence persist since evidence-based innovations are not readily accepted, and new technologies require 17 years on average to become widely adopted [28].…”

Our conceptual model demonstrates our goal to investigate the impact of clinical decision support (CDS) utilization on cancer screening improvement strategies in the community health care (CHC) setting. We employed a dual modeling technique using both statistical and computational modeling to evaluate impact. Our statistical model used the Spearman’s Rho test to evaluate the strength of relationship between our proximal outcome measures (CDS utilization) against our distal outcome measure (provider self-reported cancer screening improvement). Our computational model relied on network evolution theory and made use of a tool called Construct-TM to model the use of CDS measured by the rate of organizational learning. We employed the use of previously collected survey data from community health centers Cancer Health Disparities Collaborative (HDCC). Our intent is to demonstrate the added valued gained by using a computational modeling tool in conjunction with a statistical analysis when evaluating the impact a health information technology, in the form of CDS, on health care quality process outcomes such as facility-level screening improvement. Significant simulated disparities in organizational learning over time were observed between community health centers beginning the simulation with high and low clinical decision support capability.

“…Repeated analyses of the medical charts associated with patients diagnosed with late-stage cervical cancer, latestage colon cancer, and late-stage breast cancer have re vealed an alarming rate of missed opportunities to commu nicate proactively with patients about their pending need for an overdue screening test (Taplin, Clauser, Rodgers, Breslau, & Rayson, 2010;Zapka et al, 2004). These errors of omission are part of the "hidden epidemic" of medical error within a fragmented, fee-for-service health system that has triggered systematic evidence reviews by the In stitute of Medicine and by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.…”

Over the past decade, dramatic changes brought about by a rapid diffusion of Internet technologies, cellular telephones, mobile devices, personal digital assistants, electronic health records, and data visualization have helped to create a revolution in health communication. To understand the implications of this communication revolution for cancer care, the National Cancer Institute launched an ambitious set of research priorities under its "extraordinary opportunities" program. We present an overview of some of the relevant behavioral research being conducted within the perspective of this extraordinary opportunity in cancer communication research. We begin by tracing the implications of this research for behavioral scientists across the continuum of cancer care from primary prevention (e.g., tobacco control, diet, exercise, sun protection, and immunization against human papilloma virus), to secondary prevention (e.g., screening for polyps, lesions, and early stage neoplasms), to diagnosis and treatment, posttreatment survivorship, and end of life. Along each point of the continuum, we describe a natural evolution of knowledge from studies on the traditional role of media to research on the changing role of new media and informatics, and we carefully highlight the role that psychological research has played in improving communication- and health-related outcomes along the way. We conclude with an appeal to psychologists of many different backgrounds to join with biomedical researchers, engineers, clinical practitioners, and others to accelerate progress against cancer.
