Implementation of Electronic Patient-Reported Outcome Measures after Palliative Radiotherapy: Bridging the Knowledge Gap

By: E. Oldenburger MD, PhD

SUMMARY

The use of electronic Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (ePROMs) in palliative radiotherapy (PRT) offers an innovative approach to symptom monitoring and patient-centered care. This article summarises key findings from a PhD thesis on the development, implementation, and preliminary evaluation of the ePRomT diary, a digital tool developed to self-manage symptoms and help communication between patients and healthcare providers. The study highlights the feasibility, benefits, and challenges of ePROMs after palliative radiotherapy and their potential to improve palliative oncological care.
