Enhancing Community Capacity to Improve Value in Cancer Care
Healthworkers work with patientsLay Health Worker Led Symptom Assessment Intervention

Undertreated patient symptoms and resulting acute care use require approaches that improve symptom-burden. Previously a lay health worker (LHW)-led symptom screening intervention was developed for patients with cancer. In pilot work, the intervention was associated with improvements in patient symptom burden and reductions in healthcare use and costs of care at the end of life.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
