About this trial

The purpose of this study is to understand the implementation and impact of a pragmatically-delivered oncology financial navigation program. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. How did oncology financial navigation implementation strategies affect implementation outcomes? 2. What is the impact of financial navigation on patient financial hardship, quality of life, and psychological distress? 3. How were implementation strategies utilized to overcome barriers to oncology financial navigation?

Researchers will examine secondary, standard-of-care collected, patient-reported data, electronic medical record data, and qualitative interview data to answer these questions.
