“Does implementing ePROs really require more nursing staff?
An important study by Nicole Henderson and colleagues at ASCOQLTY26 explores nursing workload and staffing needs before and after ePRO implementation across 12 oncology practices.”
Date of the event: October 17
Read the full abstract:
Abstract title: Perceptions of nursing staffing needs for remote symptom monitoring with patient-reported outcomes before and after program implementation.
Summarized conclusions of the abstract:
Implementing ePRO systems did not always require hiring additional nurses.
Although concerns about increased workload for clinical staff are common before implementation, these can often be addressed through:
- gradual rollout
- clearly defined responsibilities
- better use of existing triage processes and technology.
Monitoring implementation helps:
- identify workflow problems
- improve efficiency
- adjust staffing needs as the system expands.
