PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:~I. Determine the efficacy of remote patient monitoring (RPM) on improving clinical outcomes.~SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:~I. Evaluate the following patient-centered outcomes: treatment delays, health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL), patient activation, and family caregiver-experience.~OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.~ARM I: Patients receive standard of care consisting of oncology care provided via telemedicine.~ARM II: Patients receive standard of care consisting of oncology care provided via telemedicine. Patients also undergo remote monitoring.
This clinical trial studies if enhanced outpatient symptom management with telemedicine and remote monitoring can help reduce acute care visit due to chemotherapy-related adverse events. Receiving telemedicine and remote monitoring may help patients have better outcomes (such as fewer avoidable emergency room visits and hospitalizations, better quality of life, fewer symptoms, and fewer treatment delays) than patients who receive usual care.
