Summary

This study will aim to demonstrate that implementation of a rapid, multidisciplinary supportive care program for patients receiving chemoradiotherapy who are deemed to be at high risk for hospitalization based on real-time pedometer data will reduce the rate of hospitalization during chemoradiotherapy or within four weeks of radiotherapy completion.

Detailed description

Primary Objective * To demonstrate that implementation of a rapid, multidisciplinary supportive care program for patients receiving chemoradiotherapy who are deemed to be at high risk for hospitalization based on real-time pedometer data will reduce the rate of hospitalization during chemoradiotherapy or within four weeks of radiotherapy completion. Secondary Objectives * To demonstrate the feasibility of a program of rapid, multidisciplinary supportive care triggered by real-time pedometer data. * To characterize the interventions enacted by our multidisciplinary supportive care team. * To explore if interventions enacted by our multidisciplinary team for patients with low recent step counts lead to increased step counts in subsequent weeks compared to historical controls. * To collect biospecimens for future correlative studies examining associations between blood/urine biomarkers and patient activity levels.

Conditions
