Implementation Challenges of Remote Cancer Symptom Management With Electronic Patient‑Reported Outcomes in China's Primary Health Care Settings: Qualitative Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePROs)-based cancer symptom management presents an opportunity to improve patient outcomes by optimizing symptom detection and prompting clinician interventions in tertiary hospitals. However, real-world evidence is limited, especially in primary health care (PHC) settings, which are accompanied by more complex and unknown influencing factors.

Objective

We conducted a qualitative study to identify facilitators and barriers associated with the implementation of ePRO-based symptom management in China's PHC settings under the implementation science (IS) framework. We further developed strategies and recommendations for real-world practices and health policies.

Methods

This qualitative study was conducted from October to De
