What this research studies
The project creates a Clinical Practice Network across MSK’s New York locations and six regional sites to develop and roll out telehealth services for cancer patients. Patients, clinicians, staff, and researchers will use user-centered design to create and refine synchronous and asynchronous telehealth tools, digital MSK@Home services, and computational models. The team will test patient and clinician engagement methods, collect data through pragmatic trials and implementation work, and refine operational and staffing models. Successful practices and tools will be translated back into routine care across the network.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates are people with cancer who receive care at MSK or its regional sites and who can use or be supported to use telehealth and home-based services.
Not a fit: Patients who require frequent in-person procedures, lack reliable internet or devices, or live outside the MSK service area may not benefit from this project.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this could make cancer care more convenient and accessible by enabling more care at home and improving telehealth delivery.
How similar studies have performed: Many telehealth programs have improved access and satisfaction in cancer care, but combining MSK@Home services with new computational and staffing models is a newer approach with less prior testing.
