How can healthcare systems improve the integration of cancer care?
Improving integration requires a multifaceted approach. First, enhancing interoperability of EHR systems can ensure that patient information is easily accessible to all providers involved in a patient's care. Second, investing in telehealth infrastructure can help bridge the gap in access to specialized care. Third, implementing care coordination programs can ensure that all aspects of a patient's treatment are managed cohesively. Finally, policy reforms aimed at reducing the financial burden of cancer treatment can make care more accessible.
