Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A study to see if coordinated aggressive patient management will improve patient treatment outcomes and is cost effective.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is an observational study of the effects of aggressive patient management. The records of 50 patients treated under the aggressive management plan will be matched with the records of 50 previous patients and attempts made to assess the improvement, if any, found. Statistical analysis will compare the outcomes of the study group and the matched control group for initial completion of planned therapy as per prescription, weight loss during therapy, intercurrent illness, and intercurrent hospitalizations. Long term analysis will compare the study group's outcomes (compared to expected outcomes) compared to the matched control group.

Patient management

Aggressive patient management will be implemented by a corps of "patient manager" volunteers backed by a transportation, nutrition, and social services network. The social services professionals will work with the volunteers to establish the support needed for each patient. The volunteer managers will in turn constantly monitor that such support is addressing the patient's ability to be treated. Access to sponsored housing will be coordinated. Nutritional support will be coordinated by the Dietary department and will consist of counseling, and supplements when necessary. Provision of supplemental feeding for housed patients will be arranged.
