Healthcare Outcomes, Policy, and Systems Research (HOPS)
Areas Reviewed
- Studies investigating the delivery of cancer-related care, including patient-provider communication, patient navigation, and care coordination among oncology and primary care providers
- Access to care research including identification and mitigation of barriers (such as availability, accessibility, affordability, and quality) to preventive services, cancer treatment, and follow-up care
- Characteristics of patients, health care professionals, health systems, and populations that affect access to care, healthcare delivery, and workforce development
- Behavioral economics and health policy research to better understand and address the factors affecting preventive services, screening, and healthcare across the cancer continuum
- Research that addresses how financial toxicity (including employment and insurance status) affects cancer-related outcomes
- Interventions and natural experiments that demonstrate how policy changes impact known risk factors of cancer (e.g., soda tax, indoor smoking bans)
- Implementation science research that facilitates the translation of health services research into practice
