Essential Components of an Electronic Patient-Reported Symptom Monitoring and Management System: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Multicomponent electronic patient-reported outcome cancer symptom management systems reduce symptom burden. Whether all components contribute to symptom reduction is unknown.

Objective

To deconstruct intervention components of the Symptom Care at Home (SCH) system, a digital symptom monitoring and management intervention that has demonstrated efficacy, to determine which component or combination of components results in the lowest symptom burden.

Design, setting, and participants

This randomized clinical trial included participants who were older than 18 years, had been diagnosed with cancer, had a life expectancy of 3 months or greater, were beginning a chemotherapy course planned for at least 3 cycles, spoke English, and had daily access and ability to us
