ClinConnect Summary

The SPHERE Implementation Trial is a study designed to see how well a special health record helps cancer survivors manage their health after treatment. This trial focuses on patients who have been diagnosed with early-stage colon or rectal cancer and have recently completed their initial treatment. Researchers want to understand not only how effective this health record is in improving care but also how it can be successfully used in different healthcare settings.

To participate, you need to be at least 18 years old, have regular internet access, and be able to speak English. You should have been treated for colon or rectal cancer within the last year and not have had a recurrence of the cancer. If you join the study, you can expect to engage with the health record system and provide feedback about your experience. This trial is currently recruiting participants, and it offers an opportunity to contribute to improving cancer care for others in the future.
