Patient-Reported Outcomes Available at Point-of-Care
By HospiMedica International staff writers Posted on 29 Dec 2014 |
A new partnership enables oncology providers to easily gather and view patient reported outcome (PRO) data at the point of care (POC).
The integration of the Vector Oncology (Memphis, TN, USA) Patient Care Monitor and the Flatiron Health (New York, NY, USA) OncoEMR cloud-based electronic medical record (EMR) is intended to provide oncology care providers with additional insights needed to support quality of life and alleviate symptom burden for cancer patients. The Patient Care Monitor is a web-based technology platform that collects data from patients at the POC, including 86 physical symptoms across treatment side effects, impairment, acute distress, and despair and depression.
Flatiron Health and Vector Oncology will also collaborate on various studies involving health outcomes and economic endpoints in support of clinical research efforts and real-world evidence generation. In addition, Lee Schwartzberg, MD, president and chief medical officer for Vector Oncology, will serve as a medical advisor to Flatiron Health, thus helping to leverage PRO data with Flatiron's EMR platform in order to merge technology in the support of the oncology community and achieve meaningful improvements in cancer care.
“The integration of Flatiron's OncoEMR with our Patient Care Monitor will create an unmatched source of real world clinical and patient reported outcomes intelligence to improve the quality of cancer care and demonstrate the effectiveness and value of treatments,” said Mike Choukas, CEO of Vector Oncology.
“We are excited to partner with Vector Oncology, as we share a similar goal of leveraging technology to improve the quality of cancer care for patients,” said Nat Turner, co-founder and CEO of Flatiron Health. “This alliance will enable us to further support oncology providers with additional insights at the point of care.”
