We conducted a pragmatic randomized controlled trial [For the intervention group, PCPs and cancer specialists used eOncoNote in addition to the usual methods of communication (eg, visit notes, telephone, and fax). At the time of providing consent, patients were informed that the intervention involved communication between their PCP and cancer specialist via eOncoNote. After a patient provided consent to participate and was randomized to the intervention group, the cancer specialist logged onto the eOncoNote website and sent the PCP an invitation to communicate (refer to Access to the website, which was available free of charge, was only provided to the cancer specialists and PCPs whose patients had consented to participate in the study. Cancer specialists and PCPs were able to contact the RA and the BASE eConsult team if they required technical support. Each notification email included contact information for support and a quick start guide with step-by-step instructions and screenshots as a reminder about the eOncoNote communication process. For the control group, PCPs and cancer specialists used the usual methods of communication only.Screenshot of eOncoNote discussion page.eOncoNote intervention process flowchart.
