Qualitative Study of Health Care Team Perception of the Benefits and Limitations of Remote Symptom Monitoring.

Methods: Health care team members from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the University of South Alabama Health Mitchell Cancer Institute participated in semi-structured qualitative interviews to explore their experiences and perspectives on RSM benefits and limitations.
