Background summary
Health care professionals and patients advocate transfer of care and follow-up from secondary to primary care in the Netherlands, due to the increase in the number of chronic cancer patients, cancer incidence and improving outcomes of cancer therapy and expanding possibilities for personalized cancer care. However, the effectiveness of structured patient follow-up form primary care during the cancer journey has not been studied yet. Therefore, the GRIP study, a multicenter randomized controlled two-arm trial, evaluates the effects of structured follow-up care form diagnosis, for cancer patients provided from primary care on healthcare utilization and patient satisfaction with care.
Country of recruitment: The Netherlands
Study objective
Structured follow-up from primary care will effect patients‘ satisfaction with care and health care utilisation.
