Comprehensive Connected Cancer Care (C4): Intervention Evaluation
Summary
The C4 program aims to provide a multi-level intervention program (Patient Level, Healthcare Team and Healthcare System Level) that improves the coordination of care with supportive/ancillary care providers and community services through the use of patient navigation and a digital needs assessment and a closed-loop referral system and improves patient-centered communication and engagement in care through skills training for the healthcare team and provision of culturally appropriate patient educational tools and resources. The program components incorporate three areas that are critical to improving patient-centered care: coordination of care, patient-centered communication and engagement, and psychosocial care and other supportive services.

Change in Health Related Quality of Life (FACT-G7)
The FACT-G7 is a 7-item version of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G), a patient-reported outcome measure used to assess health-related quality of life in patients undergoing cancer therapy. The survey assesses the impacts of cancer therapy in four domains: physical, social/family, emotional, and functional. Higher scores represent higher quality of life.
