Practice Variation in Physician Referral for Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: Hematologic malignancy patients who are not referred by their primary Hematologist or Medical Oncologist suffer disparate access to allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). However, systematic investigation into physician, system, and patient factors relevant to this decision making is lacking. Accordingly, we surveyed a nationally representative random sample of practicing Hematologists/Medical Oncologists identified through the AMA Masterfile. The survey content was organized in three sections: (I) Vignette based decision making according to best-worst scaling; (II) examination of physician, system and patient factors relevant to decision making; and (III) respondent socio-demographic information.
