US Oncologist Survey: Optimizing Treatment for Advanced Melanoma

This report will help identify current physician practice patterns, understand differences in clinical decisions and the factors that influence those decisions, barriers to optimal patient care, and will provide actionable data for developing marketing strategies. The Assessment Group develops patient vignette surveys to determine the current practice patterns, knowledge, attitudes, confidence and barriers of physicians. Patient cases describe the patient’s history, age, gender, race, and lab/physical results. Following each case, a series of clinical questions is posed to the physicians regarding their treatment decisions. In addition to the cases and clinical questions, questions are designed to assess attitudes, confidence, and barriers to the optimal management of patients.
