Patients seen in the post-MDC era were associated with an almost two and a half times more likely chance to start PORT/POCRT on time and were observed to have a fourfold better adherence to the CoC guidelines for timely adjuvant therapy initiation than those in the pre-MDC era. A colocated MDC may have enabled improved care coordination by helping to streamline communication, prophylactically identifying and mitigating potential delays in care, and developing comprehensive treatment plans that may have helped to improve timely adjuvant care.
Daoud et al. (Mon,) studied this question.
