MethodA quasi-experimental study was designed to assess the effectiveness of the educational case strategy. Nine pairs of hospitals were selected for participation from the 30 general (hospitalwide) tumor boards included in the original study. The pairs were matched based on (1) teaching status of the hospital (no residency training programs versus= 1 residency training program) and (2) number of tumor board meetings scheduled per month (one, two or three, or four or five). This resulted in two pairs of boards that meet monthly in non-teaching hospitals, three pairs of boards meeting two to three times per month in non-teaching hospitals, two pairs meeting two to three times per month in teaching hospitals, and two pairs meeting four to five times per month in teaching hospitals. One hospital from each pair was randomly assigned to the treatment condition, the other was assigned to the control condition. The tumor board chairs, registrars, and cancer committee chairs from the nine study hospitals were given the opportunity to attend a training session where the educational case format was presented and demonstrated. The demonstration was conducted like a tumor board session with a University of Southern California (USC) oncologist modeling the facilitation role and the participants acting as the tumor board members. The participants were also given a workbook designed to guide them through the process of developing and using an educational case. In addition, an educational consultant was available to answer questions as the boards attempted to implement the strategy. At least one person from eight of the nine study boards attended the training session, while only three boards requested assistance form the educational consultant more than once. Each board was asked to try the strategy at least three times over a six-month period, once each with a breast cancer, a lung cancer, and a colorectal cancer
