Enrique Soto Perez de Celis, Associate Professor at the University of Colorado Anschutz, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Excited to share our new paper published in Nature Reviews Clinical Oncology:
‘Time as an unmeasured ‘dose’ in oncology: introducing time budgeting as a design principle for cancer care.’
In oncology, we carefully measure toxicities, costs, and outcomes – but we rarely measure the time cancer care consumes from patients and caregivers.
This paper introduces the concept of time budgeting: treating patient time as a finite and valuable resource that should be intentionally considered when designing cancer care pathways, clinical trials, and health systems.
- Time toxicity in cancer care
- Hidden burdens such as travel, waiting, scheduling, and administrative work
- How telehealth and streamlined workflows can reduce unnecessary burden
- Why time-efficient care is also an equity issueThe importance of incorporating time burden into clinical trial design
For patients, especially those with advanced cancer, time may be the most precious outcome of all.
Grateful to collaborate with Sunil Shrestha and Pratik Khanal on this work.”
