Multidisciplinary Educational Program to Standardize Education and Management of Immune-related Adverse Events: Review and Outcomes of a Single-institution Initiative.

Objectives: The use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) as anticancer therapy across a variety of malignancies has led to durable efficacy in a subset of patients. However, associated side effects denoted immune-related adverse events (irAEs) have emerged and can result in substantial morbidity and mortality. Particularly early in the experience of using these agents, a lack of standardized education regarding irAEs among patients and clinical providers may have contributed to poor outcomes.

Harnessing choice architecture in urologic practice: Implementation of an opioid-sparing protocol grounded in cognitive behavioral theory.

Purpose: Opioids are prescribed excessively following surgery. As many urologic oncology procedures are performed minimally invasively, an opportunity exists to push forward initiatives to minimize postoperative opioid use.

Materials And Methods: A quality improvement initiative to reduce inpatient opioid prescribing was launched at a tertiary cancer center.
