224 Background: The National Academies of Medicine prioritizes patient’s needs, values, and preferences when patient’s and care teams make treatment decisions. However, the collection of this patient information is not part of the formal clinical intake process, nor are pertinent questions included in EHR templates. Methods: Surveys were conducted of cancer patients and cancer physicians to understand perceptions on whether patients’ quality of life priorities (e.g work, hobbies, key events, household responsibilities) are discussed, documented and reflected in treatment plans. Physicians were recruited via a market research panel. Patients were recruited from the Cancer Care data base via an email request to complete an online survey. Results: From February to October, 2018, 310 cancer patients and 109 cancer physicians completed surveys. Cancer patients were mostly female, 91% had been diagnosed in the last year, 61% had breast cancer, and 55% were stage 1 or 2. Among physicians, 88% self-identified as trained in oncology, 33% practice at academic centers, 51% in community practices, 34% from the Northeast, 21% the Southeast, and 25% the Midwest. Most patients (62%) said it was very/extremely important their doctor know their priorities. Most physicians (66%) report they most of the time/always know patients’ personal quality of life priorities before finalizing treatment plans, and 62% say this information has a large/major impact on recommendations. However, only 40% of patients report having this conversation before treatment started. Although 76% of doctors said they discussed what is important to patients most of the time or always, only 60% report it is documented, usually in the social history or notes fields. Only 36% of patients are sure this information is entered into their medical record. Conclusions: Cancer patients want their doctors to know what is important to them, and physicians agree. However, documentation is often relegated to narrative notes fields in the EHR. Considering the key role patients’ priorities should play in treatment planning, there need to be standardized collection tools so this information can be timely collected and shared.

Background: Long-term care (LTC) workers are subjected to structural and inherent difficult conditions that are likely to impact their quality of life at work; however, no agreed scale measures it. This study aims to develop a scale to measure the work-related quality of life among LTC workers in England (CWRQoL). The study establishes the domains/sub-domains of CWRQoL, investigates the tool’s utility and collates information on existing supporting strategies for CWRQoL. Methods: We adopt a mixed-methods approach employing inductive/deductive processes at three stages: (1) a scoping review of the literature; (2) interviews and focus groups with frontline LTC workers, managers and LTC stakeholders; and (3) a content validity consensus survey. Results: CWRQoL is composed of seven domains (and 23 sub-domains). Additional domains to those in the literature include financial wellbeing, sufficient time for building relations, managing grief and emotions associated with client death and end of life care. Stakeholders identified several benefits and challenges related to the CWRQoL tool’s utility. COVID-19 significantly impacted LTC workers’ mental wellbeing and spillover between work and home. Conclusions: The study highlighted the complex nature of CWRQoL and provided a solid ground for developing and validating a CWRQoL scale.
