Abstract
Purpose: To describe clinicians' perspectives on POSTHOC (POSt-Treatment Healthcare Outcomes for Cancer survivors), a survivorship care plan (SCP) smartphone application (app).
Participants & setting: 14 clinicians, including 5 nurses, were recruited from oncology (n = 9) and other allied medical fields (n = 5).
Methodologic approach: Semistructured interviews about the clinician portal and patient-facing app were conducted to assess usability and utility.
Findings: Participants reported many positive perceptions regarding the SCP app, noting its accessibility, accountability tools, and ability to promote patient-provider communication at and in between appointments. Participants also noted several negative perceptions, such as the expectation for immediate clinician interaction. Clinicians commented on technical aspects and features of the SCP app to improve data usability (e.g., personalization, customization), minimize redundancy, and streamline feasibility and utility in the clinic.
Implications for nursing: Clinicians encouraged the continuation of the SCP app development with specific feedback for improvement.
