Patients At Risk for Sensory Screening (HPARSS) to Enhance Sensory Deficit Screening in Childhood Cancer Survivors
Purpose
The overall goal of this study is to attempt to overcome the organizational barriers that impede prompt screening for at-risk sensory deficits in childhood cancer survivors (CCS). Using a cross sectional design study, collaborators in the Informatics Research branch of the Institute of Informatics at the Washington University School of Medicine will identify CCS at risk for sensory deficits based upon their therapy exposure to generate the highlighting patients at risk for sensory screening (HPARSS) document. The investigators will utilize the HPARSS that will link therapy related risks for sensory deficits to specific screening procedures prompting the primary oncology provider to implement screening, diagnostic testing, and therapy.

Experimental Patients: Highlighting Patients at Risk for Sensory Screening (HPARSS) |
- The primary oncology team will utilize the HPARSS to identify patients who are at risk for sensory deficits based on prior treatment. The HPARSS will constitute a file of that will contain eligible patients based upon their past treatment and their corresponding risk for a particular sensory deficit based upon that treatment. The patient and parent/guardian will be approached to participate in the study. - Sensory deficit screening will be completed in the clinic and any screening results that indicate the need for referral for diagnostic testing or therapy will be scheduled by the primary treatment team staff. |

No Intervention Providers: Highlighting Patients at Risk for Sensory Screening (HPARSS) |
-Providers will complete a survey regarding their views of the HPARSS. The Acceptability of Intervention Measure has 4 questions and the Feasibility of Intervention Measure has 4 questions. |
