About this study

Official title: Optimizing the Care Pathways of Patients Treated for Operable Breast Cancer

This prospective, multicenter, observational study aims to explore a comprehensive approach to the care of early breast cancer patients in a regional health territory (including 1.5 million women and characterized by a breast cancer incidence and mortality higher than national ranges), incorporating all healthcare actors inside and outside the hospital.

Read the detailed description

The treatment course of a breast cancer patient includes a hospital stay, home health care that requires outpatient services, supportive care and a follow-up course. Outpatient surgery and home hospitalization units are two innovative organizational technologies that are strongly recommended because of their putative positive medico-economic impact; however, these structures are poorly studied in terms of quality of care and patient satisfaction. Regional implementation of these innovations is heterogeneous, thus allowing a comparative study.

This prospective, multicenter, observational study aims to explore a comprehensive approach to the care of early breast cancer patients in a regional health territory (including 1.5 million women and characterized by a breast cancer incidence and mortality higher than national ranges), incorporating all healthcare actors inside and outside the hospital.

This study will be conducted in academic centers, general hospitals and private centers. In the different participating centers, the implemented care steps are different and may include outpatient surgery, home hospitalization, a one-stop breast clinic visit, care by an oncology pivot nurse and/or screening for supportive care. Outpatient surgery and home hospitalization in particular are two health technologies that are validated by the French National Authority for Health but used differently in different centers.

The primary objective is to examine the economic and financial measurements of the different care pathways of early breast cancer patients to compare the economic burden of outpatient surgery and home hospitalization with the conventional care pathway.

The secondary objectives are:

Assessing patient satisfaction and needs for supportive care. Evaluating the structures and organizations. Evaluating the tool exchanges between the actors over the treatment course.

All parameters related to the patient and to disease characteristics, determinants and management characteristics within and outside the center within one year will be collected and centralized in the study database. The patients' course of care will be divided into five stages: preadmission, hospitalization, the postoperative period (+ 1 month), adjuvant treatments and one-year follow-up. Care pathways will be identified, described and analyzed to meet the primary objective and the secondary objectives.

After analyzing these care pathways, we will propose solutions for optimizing hospital and nonhospital care, thereby building efficient connections among the hospital, home health care, district nurse networks, medical and social sectors, and occupational reintegration.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Care pathways description of early breast cancer patients.

    Care pathways will be characterized by the sequence of different care steps. Care steps may include : outpatient surgery, home hospitalization, a one-stop breast clinic visit, care by an oncology pivot nurse and/or screening for supportive care.

    Measured: Up to one year after patient registration

  2. Overall cost measurements of the different care pathways.

    Evaluating the overall costs of the pathway care (health care and supportive care consumption) at one year for the different perspectives.

    Measured: Up to one year after patient registration

  3. Overall cost measurements of the different care pathways for health insurance

    Evaluating the indirect costs of health insurance

    Measured: Up to one year after patient registration

  4. Overall cost measurements of the different care pathways for the patient

    Evaluating the out-of-pocket health expenses for breast cancer during the first year post diagnosis (direct and indirect costs).

    Measured: Up to one year after patient registration

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Patient satisfaction evaluation

    Patient satisfaction will be assessed at different time points using the OUT-PATSAT35 questionnaire validated in French.

    Measured: Up to one year after patient registration.

  2. Supportive care needs assessement

    The patient's needs for supportive care will be assessed using the Supportive Care Needs Survey - Breast Cancer module (SCNS-BR8) validated in French.

    Measured: Up to one year after patient registration

  3. Supportive care needs assessement

    The patient's needs for supportive care will be assessed using the Supportive Care Needs Survey Short Form (SCNS-SF34) validated in French.

    Measured: Up to one year after patient registration

  4. Breast cancer impact on patient's professional activity

    Evaluating patient return to work : Existence of an occupational reintegration or not.

    Measured: Up to one year after patient registration.

  5. Breast cancer impact on patient's professional activity

    Evaluating patient return to work : Date of return to work

    Measured: Up to one year after patient registration.

  6. Breast cancer impact on patient's professional activity

    Evaluating patient return to work : Organization of working time description

    Measured: Up to one year after patient registration.

  7. Breast cancer impact on patient's professional activity

    Evaluating patient return to work : Number of days out of work

    Measured: Up to one year after patient registration.

  8. Structures and organizations interactions description

    Identification of health care actors inside and outside the hospital

    Measured: Up to one year after patient registration

  9. Structures and organizations interactions description

    identification of the interactions between the organizations (e.g., identification, shared tools, resource sharing and nurse training).

    Measured: Up to one year after patient registration

  10. Structures and organizations interactions description

    Regular practitioners questionnaires

    Measured: Up to one year after patient registration
