Description

Christine Cronin and a team of co-authors interview patients and staff about an electronic symptom program for cancer care. Their twenty twenty-five article studies eSyM, a system built into the health record by six cancer centers. Patients on chemotherapy or after surgery report symptoms from home, and the care team sees the reports in their usual workflow.

Seventy-nine staff and fourteen patients were interviewed after rollout. Both sides found the system easy to use and felt it improved communication. Competing demands still kept use uneven, and staff thought patients were less keen on the technology than patients in fact were. The team names what helps and what blocks routine use.
