Care Processes and Person Centered Care of Patients with Neuroendocrine Tumors

Overview

About this study

Given that neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) represent a rare condition with complex treatment decisions and a lack of concrete guidance for physicians, shared-decision making (SDM) is particularly challenging.In an effort to improve PCC, we hope to identify care processes throughout the clinical encounter that are important to patients. Identifying these processes would allow for standardization of the care environment without focusing on specific provider characteristics. As such, changes to the institutional and system-level processes could be made in more actionable and systematic ways.
