Description

Radiation therapy for head and neck cancers can result in many moderate-severe toxicities. Patient-reported outcomes can be used to monitor these symptoms, but are difficult to implement in the clinic. To evaluate the implementation of electronic patient-reported outcomes, a study was conducted in the head and neck radiation oncology clinic. This resulted in increased PRO utilization, along with the identification of barriers to implementation, with next steps to address.
