User Centered Design Research Patient-Centered Perioperative Care
 
Mixed-Methods Study of Electronic Patient-reported Outcomes (ePROs) Usability among Thoracic Surgery Patients

The purpose of this study is to employ user-centered design methods to assess the usability of ePRO monitoring and to understand the barriers to ePRO completion in the post-acute setting.
 
Treatment Outcomes of Esophageal Cancer in Malawi

The purpose of this study is to prospectively evaluate outcomes related to existing treatment strategies for esophageal cancer  at participating sites within the African Esophageal Cancer
Consortium.
 
Improving Quality of Life After Thoracic Surgery Using Patient-Reported Outcomes  

The purpose of this study is to test if patient-reported outcomes with automated reporting to clinicians for remote monitoring of postoperative symptoms is feasible and improves quality of life, health outcomes, and service utilization in thoracic surgery patients.

Past projects:

 
Remote Monitoring of Lung Cancer Patient-Reported Outcomes Using Moovcare®

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate how Moovcare®, a mobile medical application, can be used to monitor Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) related to cancer treatment, cancer complications, and cancer relapse in patients with lung cancer.
 
Pre-Implementation Study of Improving Thoracic Surgical Care Using Electronic Patient-Reported Outcomes (ePROS)

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the barriers and facilitators to implementing perioperative electronic Patient-Reported Outcomes (ePROs) monitoring. Results will inform a future hybrid effectiveness study.
