Association between oncologist phenotype and response to the intervention.</p

Intervention response by oncologist phenotype for patients with high predicted risk of mortality.

The adjusted probability of a high risk patient (predicted 180-day mortality risk >10%) of receiving an SIC during the pre-intervention and intervention periods by oncologist phenotype. Class 2 oncologists (green) had the highest response to the intervention, with the probability of receiving an ACP increasing from 3.1% during the pre-intervention period to 20.7% during the intervention period. The adjusted probability of ACP increased from 1.9% to 10.7% among class 1 oncologists (blue), and from 2.3% to 7.6% for class 3 oncologists (red).</p

Intervention response by oncologist phenotype for all patients in the study cohort.

The adjusted probability of any patient in the cohort receiving an SIC during the pre-intervention and intervention periods by oncologist phenotype. Class 2 oncologists (green) had the highest response to the intervention, with the probability of receiving an SIC increasing from 0.5% during the pre-intervention period to 3.8% during the intervention period. The adjusted probability of ACP increased from 0.2% to 1.0% among class 1 oncologists, and from 0.3% to 0.9% for class 3 oncologists. (DOCX)</p
