“Exciting Advances in Oncology Care!
A recent real-world study led by Michelle M. Chin, MS, from the University of Central Florida College of Medicine, highlights the power of technology and targeted interventions in improving patient outcomes.
The study implemented an electronic health record (EHR) alert to identify patients with high-risk metastatic cancer upon hospital admission. This was followed by a tailored set of interventions designed to address their unique needs.
The results? Significantly fewer 30-day readmissions and a reduction in length of stay (LOS), demonstrating the potential for smarter, data-driven approaches to enhance care quality and efficiency.
Published in JCO Oncology Practice, these findings underscore the importance of leveraging EHR data and personalized strategies in managing complex, high-risk cancer patients. Appreciate Oncology News Central for highlighting this work.”
