ABSTRACT
Inherent to the cancer disease trajectory are heightened risks for a plethora of comorbid diagnoses. As the treatment landscape for oncology therapeutics continues to rapidly advance, patients are living longer and potentially experiencing more symptoms requiring rapid assessment. Prompt assessment and intervention for cancer or cancer treatment-related symptoms is imperative to achieve patient comfort and obtain the best overall patient outcomes. Traditionally, these patients were frequently referred to the emergency department (ED) when same-day clinic appointments were not obtainable. In order to decrease ED utilization and provide same-day urgent care for oncology patients, the Abramson Cancer Center established an advanced practice provider–led Oncology Evaluation Center where cancer patients are able to receive same-day assessment, symptom relief, and ultimately prevent unnecessary ED visits.
