Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The TRIP Project aims to overcome barriers to widespread implementation and dissemination of evidence-based practices that will improve the delivery of guideline-concordant care to vulnerable women with breast cancer. To accomplish this goal the study team will create (a) regional patient registries; (b) systematic screening for social barriers to care with a personalized referral plan; and (c) patient navigation services that integrate into one model of care to improve the quality and effectiveness of care delivery, for minority and/or low-income women with breast cancer in Boston.

- label
- Control- Usual Care
- description
- This study will be utilizing electronic health record data to identify patients that match the TRIP eligibility criteria and received patient navigation prior to study rollout. These patients will receive standard patient navigation at their care site and will act as controls in comparison to the TRIP experimental group.
- type
- EXPERIMENTAL
- label
- TRIP Patient Navigation Intervention
- description
- This study will be enhancing current patient navigation at the participating 5 hospitals with the 3 components of the TRIP intervention (a shared patient registry, a social determinants of health platform, and additional training and support for Patient Navigators). All patients that are identified as TRIP eligible will receive these intervention benefits and will be categorized into the experimental arm of the study.
