A patient being able to accurately understand and recall medical information correctly has been shown to improve outcomes. However, many studies suggest that patient understanding about the disease and its management in oncology tends to be poor. Our study aimed to implement CareTrack, a simple, yet complete app-based information package that provides an initial appointment summary for patients with lung cancer. An iPad with the CareTrack application was provided to medical oncologists to complete at the end of the initial consultation. A printout copy was provided to patients to take home. One-week later a patient satisfaction questionnaire was administered over the phone. Five oncologists and 37 patients participated in the study. Our primary objective was to assess feasibility of the CareTrack application from the physician perspective. The average physician time to complete the CareTrack application form for each patient was 1 minute and 23 seconds, thus demonstrating that this is a quick and easy tool for physicians. Our secondary objective was to assess patient satisfaction. 97% of patients found the information provided to be useful and 100% of patients found it easy to understand. Most patients were found to refer to the CareTrack application form more than once (33/36) and used the form to remember information (34/37). Importantly, 95% of patients were comfortable seeing their cancer information displayed on the application and 86% of patients would like to receive additional information in the future if their cancer management changed. CareTrack was found to be user friendly and able to effectively provide lung cancer patients with a comprehensive yet easy-to-understand summary of their initial consultation.
