Despite accumulating evidence indicating that collecting patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and transferring results to the treating health professional in real time has potential improve patient well-being cancer outcomes, this practice is not widespread.The aim of study was test feasibility acceptability PROMPT-Care (Patient Reported Outcome Measures for Personalized Treatment Care), a newly developed electronic (eHealth) system facilitates PRO data capture from patients, linkage retrieval...
Background Despite the acceptability and efficacy of e–patient-reported outcome (ePRO) systems, implementation in routine clinical care remains challenging. Objective This pragmatic trial implemented PROMPT-Care (Patient Reported Outcome Measures for Personalized Treatment Care) web-based system into existing workflows evaluated its effectiveness among a diverse population patients with cancer. Methods Adult solid tumors receiving active treatment or follow-up four cancer centers were...
To realize the broader benefits of electronic patient-reported outcome measures (ePROMs) in routine care, we used RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance) framework to inform translation a clinically effective ePROM system (hereafter referred as PRM system) into practice. The study aimed evaluate processes success implementing care patients diagnosed with lung cancer.A controlled before-and-after mixed-methods was undertaken. Data sources included self-report...
Routine assessment and clinical utilisation of patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures can lead to improved patient outcomes. The PROMPT-Care eHealth system facilitates PRO data capture from cancer patients, linkage retrieval support decisions, self-management, shared care. Pilot testing demonstrated acceptability feasibility Version 1.0. This study aims implement 2.0 determine its efficacy in reducing emergency department (ED) presentations, improving chemotherapy delivery health service...
Introduction: Patient-reported Outcomes for Personalized Treatment and Care (PROMPT-Care) is the first eHealth system in Australia that fully electronically integrated into hospital oncology information systems, enabling real-time, routine collection of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) to support enable cancer patients achieve maintain improved health, well-being, outcomes. Five previously published papers detail impetus developing this system, its development, testing acceptability...
Patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures have been used widely to screen for depression, anxiety, and symptoms in cancer patients. Computer-based applications that collect patients' responses transfer them the treating health professional real time potential improve patient well-being outcomes.This study will test feasibility acceptability of a newly developed eHealth system which facilitates PRO data capture from patients, linkage retrieval support clinical decisions self-management, ongoing...
High-quality symptom management and supportive care are essential components of comprehensive cancer care. We aimed to describe the development an evidence-based automated decisional algorithm for patients with that had specific, actionable, clinical, recommendations improve patient care, communication, management.We reviewed existing literature clinical practice guidelines identify priority domains potential recommendations. Two multidisciplinary advisory groups used a two-stage consensus...
Introduction In 2001, the Radiation Therapy Advisory Panel (RTAP) of Australian Society Medical Imaging and (ASMIRT) (formerly known as Institute Radiography) published a model for radiation therapist staffing in oncology departments. Between 2012–2013, was reviewed to ensure it reflected current therapy practice, technology, facilitate forward planning workforce. Method Twenty-four sites from all states participated provided data on megavoltage simulation, treatment delivery. For simulation...
6510 Background: The significant impact of routine assessment and clinical utilization patient-reported outcomes (PRO) on patient survival reduced emergency department (ED) presentations has been demonstrated in specific populations (e.g. advanced cancer). This controlled trial evaluated the an eHealth system, PROMPT-Care, ED a diverse population cancer patients from four oncology treatments centers. Methods: All adult receiving care (including adjuvant therapy follow-up) were eligible,...
This editorial provides an insight into learning and prevention of error through near miss event reporting. The preparation delivery radiation therapy involves multiple often complex procedures that are performed by three professional groups, therapists, oncologists medical physicists. While this intricate complexity exists, there is a high expectation safety in therapy. Identification events incident reporting systems the subsequent correction preventative actions can improve clinical...
Electronically administered patient-reported outcome measures (ePROMs) are effective digital health tools for informing clinicians about cancer patients’ symptoms and facilitating timely patient-centred care. This paper describes the delivery of healthcare activities supported by PROMPT-Care model, including ePROMs generated clinical alerts, care team (CCT) response to perceptions CCT system. mixed-methods study includes patients from four therapy centres in New South Wales, Australia....

The purpose of the present paper is to provide a more homogeneous dose distribution in target volume from compensated anterior and posterior fields while healthy lung spared by de-weighting lateral fields. A compensation computation which used linear iterations compute most across was applied produce optimum compensator designs. equivalent tissue-air ratio (E-TAR) inhomogeneity correction for computations using GE series II planning computer. compensators designed were tested accuracy...
