The objective of the pragmatic trial to test the effectiveness of an existing, ongoing clinical service, the VA National TeleOncology program (NTO), a multilevel telehealth population health management program. The primary aims are to study the intervention and determine its effectiveness on telehealth engagement, clinical quality, and healthcare cost outcomes across personal characteristics.
Study staff will use the Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA), the VA health information technology system, to identify eligible patients at VA sites based on listed inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patient records will be observed of Veterans with a new cancer diagnosis of the lung, prostate, breast, or colon and a telehealth visit utilizing the VA National TeleOncology Service (NTO).

| National TeleOncology | Behavioral | Medical and/or subspecialty oncology care offered via facility-to-facility telehealth as an alternative to usual in-person care at the nearest VA or community oncology care setting offering similar services. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Number of raw telehealth visits | Telehealth utilization among Veterans with cancer will be measured through raw telehealth visit counts. | Post-NTO implementation (up to 3 months) |
| Fraction of patients engaging in at least one telehealth visit | Telehealth utilization among Veterans with cancer will be measured by fraction of patients engaging in at least one telehealth visit. | Post-NTO implementation (up to 3 months) |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in provider level Quality Oncology Practice Initiative (QOPI) score | The quality of care of the intervention will be evaluating utilizing the American Society of Clinical Oncology Practice Initiative (QOPI) performance measures. The scale consists of 26 performance measures assessed at the patient, provider, and facility levels. Each cancer care provider will have his or her patient QOPI measures aggregated together for a provider level QOPI score. Our primary interest is the difference in QOPI score by intervention condition, as estimated by the fixed-effect coefficient for the intervention indicator variable. Scores of 75% or more indicate the standard is met, scores less than 75% indicate the standards have not been met. An increase in the QOPI score indicates improvement. |
