Let’s follow David through his patient journey…
Meet David, a fictional patient diagnosed with prostate cancer. His exact path will depend on his diagnosis, care team and treatment plan, but like many patients, he will move through a series of conversations, decisions and stages of care.
Follow David to see how 5thPort can keep him informed, prepared and supported along the way—while giving his care team insight into what he’s watched, what he understands and where he may need more support.
CONSULT
David has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. His case may have been reviewed by a multidisciplinary team, or he may have been referred by another physician. His next step is to meet with a specialist to better understand his diagnosis and treatment options.
Before the appointment, David receives a link to his 5thPort engagement plan from his care team. 5thPort is web-based, so there’s no app to download—David simply opens the link on his phone, tablet or computer.
There, a personalized video introduces the physician he’ll be meeting:
“Hi David, I’m Dr. Lewis. I’ll be seeing you for your consultation on October 15.”
Additional education helps David understand what may be discussed during the appointment and introduces potential treatment options, so he can start thinking about his questions and priorities.
Before he even arrives, David knows who he’ll be meeting, what to expect and feels better prepared to take part in the conversation about his care.
TREATMENT PREPARATION
After conversations with his care team, David and his physicians have decided to move forward with brachytherapy. Now the focus shifts from deciding what treatment he’ll receive to getting ready for it.
Through 5thPort, his care team sends education specific to his treatment plan, along with the instructions he needs to prepare. Depending on his procedure, this could include information about treatment planning, medications, fasting, bowel preparation, transportation, appointments and what to expect on treatment day.
Reminders reinforce important instructions as the date approaches, while simple teach-back questions help identify anything David may not fully understand.
And, instead of going home with a stack of papers and trying to remember everything he was told, David has one place to go back to whenever he has a question.
When treatment day arrives, David knows where to go, how to prepare and what to expect.
TREATMENT
David begins treatment. Now his questions are less about choosing a treatment and more about experiencing it: What happens today? Is what I’m experiencing expected? What happens next?
5thPort continues the conversation with education and guidance relevant to where David is in his treatment. He can revisit instructions, understand what to expect and receive information from his care team as his needs change.
And while David engages with that information, his care team can see what he has viewed, completed and understood—and where he may need additional support.
David stays informed and supported throughout treatment, both inside and outside the clinic.
RECOVERY & FOLLOW-UP
David has completed treatment, but his care doesn’t stop when he leaves the clinic.
Now the focus turns to recovery and early follow-up. Through 5thPort, David receives guidance about expected side effects, managing symptoms, signs that warrant a call to his care team and upcoming follow-up appointments.
When questions come up at home, he can return to information from his care team instead of relying on what he remembers from previous conversations.
David knows what to expect during recovery, what to watch for and when to reach out for help.
SURVIVORSHIP
As David moves further beyond treatment, the focus shifts again—from recovery to monitoring his prostate cancer, managing longer-term effects of treatment and maintaining his health and quality of life.
Through 5thPort, David can continue receiving relevant education about PSA monitoring, follow-up care, longer-term side effects and changes he should discuss with his care team.
Months may pass between appointments, but David still has trusted information to return to as new questions arise.
David may be finished with treatment, but he’s not finished needing information and support.
David’s journey may be fictional. But, the results are real:
