Description

Patients undergoing radiation therapy for head and neck cancers can experience moderate-severe toxicities. To monitor symptoms, patient-reported outcomes have proven highly effective, but are hard to implement in clinic settings. We performed an implementation study in the head-neck radiation oncology clinic and evaluated this through the RE-AIM framework. The implementation study demonstrated increased PRO utilization and identified potential barriers to implementation and ways to address these.
