Seventeen-Month Study Demonstrates 88% Engagement at 6 Months and Care Team Optimization Results NEW YORK, Oct. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Canopy, the first Intelligent Care Platform for oncology, today announced results from a seventeen-month, real-world study of their ePRO-based patient monitoring platform. The single-site study of 923 patients at Highlands Oncology Group demonstrates the Canopy platform can be effectively implemented at a large scale with a high level of long-term patient enrollment, engagement, and retention. The study also found that the vast majority of patient issues were effectively resolved by nurse specialists and physician intervention was infrequently required. Canopy’s Seventeen-Month Study Demonstrates 88% Patient Engagement on ePROs at 6 Months. The study’s results were highly meaningful and selected for publication by the Journal of Clinical Oncology in the October issue. Key findings from the study include:
“People with cancer experience a wide variety of treatment side effects and disease-related symptoms that are extremely challenging for the care team to identify and resolve between office visits. These ultimately negatively impact outcomes and the patient experience,” said Michael Kolodziej, MD, Head of the Medical Advisory Board at Canopy. “This study adds to a growing body of evidence that suggests patients are ready and willing to remotely engage with providers. The oncology care delivery model needs to evolve to optimize patient care.” With the rate of new cancer cases increasing, the need to scale patient engagement and optimize treatment also grows. Streamlining staff workflows and reducing the administrative burden to support a growing number of patients is critical to preventing care team burnout. Canopy partners with practices to optimize staff workflows and reduce the administrative burden related to inbound patient requests, freeing up staff to deliver care. Canopy is fully embedded into clinical workflows, the EMR, and triage systems and provides decision support to help clinical teams better support patients at scale. A Highlands Oncology Group director and Canopy user, Traci Yeftich, indicated that they could support more cancer patients with the same staff using Canopy. She said, “Highlands has become more operationally efficient since working with Canopy. Many departments have been able to streamline workflows and return calls faster. Our switchboard team creates tickets for incoming calls and the smart template guides them through message entry. Typing a few keywords helps quickly populate the category needed and filters calls by type, location, and provider. The ease of ticket entry and visibility of all calls on the dashboard has positively impacted our ability to respond to and care for patients.” Additional studies are in progress that further explore Canopy’s ability to improve patient outcomes and reduce burden for medical staff and operational teams. About Canopy Canopy provides oncology practices with intelligent solutions to optimize the delivery of continuous care for patients and caregivers throughout their cancer journey.
