Cancer Care Delivery: Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs)

Angela Stover, PhD will discuss Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) reporting within the oncology setting. PRO reporting involves receiving information directly from patients and permit healthcare professionals to treat the whole patient through personal assessments of symptoms and of daily health status. She will emphasize PROs outside the clinic and will then report on the pilot ePRO rollout at UNC Health Care (where PROs are collected in the clinic).

Points of discussion include:

• What patient reported outcomes (PROs) are and how are they used in cancer care


• Clinical outcomes PROs can improve when completed remotely outside the clinic (at home) and in clinic


• Understanding of PROs via an implementation case study at NC Cancer Hospital
