What challenges exist in implementing PROMs in cancer care?
Despite their benefits, there are several challenges in implementing PROMs:
Data Integration: Integrating PROMs into existing electronic health record systems can be complex and resource-intensive. Patient Engagement: Ensuring that patients consistently complete PROMs can be challenging, particularly if they are experiencing severe symptoms or treatment side effects. Standardization: There is a need for standardized PROMs to allow for meaningful comparisons and benchmarking across different settings and populations. Training: Healthcare providers require training to effectively interpret and act on PROMs data.
