Summary

This study aims to improve cancer survivorship care work by refining how primary care providers and cancer specialists share responsibilities. Researchers want to understand how technology can help these teams communicate more clearly and effectively to coordinate care for survivors. The study team will use surveys, conduct interviews and organize focus groups for interested and eligible participants as methods of data collection to inform the research. Oncologists, Primary Care Physicians, administrative leads and colon or rectal cancer survivors that meet the eligibility criteria will complete surveys, engage in interviews and group discussions from each perspective to learn strategies to improve care, including who should handle which parts of survivorship care. Using this information, the team will create an intervention plan called PRIMES that outlines strategies to overcome common barriers. The ultimate goal is to help survivors receive better and more coordinated follow‑up care.
