Scoping Review to Inform the Future Development of a Measure for Team-Based Care in Oncology
Year: 2022
Type: article
Study design: Systematic Review
Abstract: PURPOSE: Team-based care is the delivery of health services to an individual by at least two health care providers working collaboratively to achieve optimal care. Participants on the National Cancer Institute and the ASCO Teams in the Cancer Care Delivery Project have defined 13 key principles to serve as the foundation for a successful team; however, it is unclear whether there exist measures of these key principles. METHODS: A scoping literature search was conducted for each key principle on PubMed and Embase to identify existing measures for key principles. Articles of interest were exported to a citation manager, Sciwheel, cataloged by the key principle. Existing measures were extracted via a two-stage screening process, with an abstract review followed by a full-text review. RESULTS: Fifteen unique measures were identified, with items extrapolated for 12 of the 13 key principles. Measures were not exclusive and could represent more than one key principle. The number of measures varied per principle from zero to five, with Team Composition and Diversity yielding no existing measure. CONCLUSION: The long-term goal is to compile and edit these measures, to create a comprehensive measure to be used in various team-based oncology care settings, and to address areas for improvement, ultimately optimizing patient care.
