PROMs are critical in cancer care for several reasons:
Patient-Centered Care: PROMs prioritize the patient's voice, ensuring that their experiences and concerns are recognized and addressed. Improved Outcomes: By regularly collecting PROMs, healthcare providers can detect issues early, modify treatment plans, and improve overall clinical outcomes. Decision-Making: PROMs provide valuable data that can guide clinical decisions, leading to more personalized and effective treatment strategies. Research and Policy: Aggregated PROMs data can inform research studies, health policies, and quality improvement initiatives.
