Provider and patient insights into the cancer care journey.

Objectives: To assess provider and patient preferences for an oncologist selection tool, value-based care, involvement in cancer care, and end-of-life planning.

Study Design: We conducted a cross-sectional survey of primary care providers (PCPs) and insured patients with cancer.

Methods: We asked PCPs about their method of oncologist referral; utilization of an oncologist selection tool that directs patients to high-quality, high-value oncologists; involvement in cancer care and value-based care; and when an advance directive should be established.
