Optimizing Multidisciplinary Treatment-Related Adverse Effects Detection and Reduction in Patients Undergoing Active Cancer Treatments in Ambulatory Infusion Centers.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to describe the implementation of an interdisciplinary supportive care program for treatment-related adverse effects (TRAEs) of patients with cancer in two ambulatory infusion centers affiliated with a major health system.

Methods: A management program of TRAEs was developed on the basis of the collaboration between oncologists, infusion center oncology nurses, and a board-certified oncology clinical pharmacist for patients with cancer in two outpatient infusion centers. Patients received multidisciplinary interventions or oncologist-driven interventions on the basis of their reported symptoms during their cancer treatments.
