COVID-19 and Remote Cancer Clinic
The COVID-Cancer remote support program was being offered at the Segal Cancer Centre at the Jewish General Hospital for dually diagnosed COVID-Cancer patients. This pilot study seeks to document the physical and psychosocial needs of oncology patients newly diagnosed with COVID-19, and the extent to which providing support (remotely, through digital, interactive, and online interventions) addresses participants’ needs while reducing distress. Patient satisfaction with these services is also measured. Ultimately, assessing these parameters in the context of a dual cancer-COVID-19 diagnosis will serve to further inform and enhance quality of care and outcomes for this group.
