Measure
Historical Control Survey
-The investigators will conduct a historic control survey of 80-100 recently diagnosed gynecologic, colorectal, and lung cancer patients. They can complete the survey in-person, over the phone, or online. The survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. It will ask about their knowledge of health insurance and confidence communicating about care costs.
I Can PIC
-Approximately 80-100 participants will use I Can PIC. This will take approximately 10-15 minutes. After their next appointment with their provider, they will complete a brief survey about their knowledge of health insurance and confidence communicating about care costs. This will take about 10 mins. Patient participants who choose to complete the study in person may view I Can PIC on a tablet provided in the clinic or at the office. Then after their appointment, they can complete the survey on a tablet provided in the clinic or at the office. If they choose to complete it over the phone, the investigators will email them the link to I Can PIC and then call them when it is time to complete the survey. If they wish to complete it online, the investigators will email them the link to I Can PIC, and then the survey after their appointment. After 3-6 months, participants will receive a 5-10 minute follow-up survey which they can complete in-person, online, or over the phone.
