Telehealth and Care Innovation for Veterans with Cancer (THRIVE)
Administrative Core - Telehealth Research and Innovation for Veterans with Cancer (THRIVE)
This program organizes telehealth services and new telehealth approaches to make cancer care easier and more connected for veterans who use VA health care.

What this research studies
The Administrative Core runs the THRIVE program across the VA by managing projects, timelines, and regulatory approvals. It supports a national pragmatic trial and smaller pilot studies that test telehealth tools and models for cancer care, while overseeing hiring, budgets, and data safety. The Core also coordinates input from an external advisory board, organizes annual meetings, and helps integrate findings into routine VA care.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Veterans with a cancer diagnosis who receive care within the VA health system and are open to using telehealth could be ideal candidates for the related trials and pilots.
Not a fit: People who are not enrolled in the VA, who lack access to telehealth technology, or whose cancer type is not included in the specific pilot/trial projects may not directly benefit from this Administrative Core's activities.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could make cancer care through the VA more accessible, better coordinated, and more responsive to veterans' needs using telehealth.
How similar studies have performed: Other telehealth programs in cancer care and prior VA trials have improved access and patient satisfaction, though large system-wide pragmatic implementations remain relatively new.
