Summary
This research study is investigating an intervention called CONTINUity of care Under Management by Video visits (CONTINUUM-V). CONTINUUM-V involves a video visit with an oncology nurse practitioner within three business days of hospital discharge for patients with advanced cancer with the goal of reducing burdensome care transitions after hospitalization, including hospital readmissions.
