About this trial

The objective of this study is to develop and evaluate the implementation of novel timeline-specific National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN)-style clinical guidelines designed to improve functional outcomes after high-risk abdominal surgery for cancer.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Surgeons who perform abdominal surgery for cancer at the study institution

Disqualifiers

Surgeons who do not perform abdominal surgery for cancer

Surgeons who are external to the study institution

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Algorithmic Guideline for Functional Recovery following Cancer Surgery

    Behavioral

    This is a pilot feasibility study to test the clinical use of a novel algorithmic guideline to support patient functional recovery following cancer surgery. To date, no algorithmic guideline exists to support functional recovery as a primary postoperative outcome.

Rate of Surgeon Utilization of the Algorithmic Guidelines for Functional Recovery following Cancer Surgery

The primary outcome is surgeon use of the novel guideline to guide the postoperative clinical care of patients recovering from GI cancer surgery. This will be measured by in-clinic fidelity monitoring, i.e. researcher monitoring of clinical use of the developed guideline.
