Oral Oncolytics: Using Remote Technology to Improve Access, Operational Efficiency, and Satisfaction.

Oncology care management via oral oncolytic therapy requires frequent laboratory monitoring for potential toxicities. A lag in these processes can result in treatment delays and care team dissatisfaction. A nurse-led quality improvement project was implemented to streamline processes, clearly define job tasks, and introduce a remote patient-reported symptom monitoring application to improve patient safety, access, operational productivity, and care team satisfaction.
