Implementation of a remote symptom monitoring pathway in oncology care: analysis of real-world experience across 33 cancer centres in France and Belgium.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Remote patient monitoring (RPM) of symptoms using electronic patient reported outcomes (ePROs) has been shown to reduce symptom burden and hospitalizations, increase dose intensity and improve quality of life of patients during systemic therapy being recommended by international guidelines in routine oncology practice. However, implementation in routine care has been slow and faces several challenges. In this study we report on the real-world multi-center implementation of a RPM pathway encompassing weekly patient symptom ePRO reporting with electronic alert notifications triggered to providers for severe or worsening symptoms.

Methods

An RPM pathway was implemented in 33 European cancer centers in France and Belgium between November 2021 and August 2023. The impl
