Obtaining Patient-Reported Outcomes Electronically With "OncoFunction" in Head and Neck Cancer Patients During Aftercare.

The disease and treatment of patients with head and neck cancer can lead to multiple late and long-term sequelae. Especially pain, psychosocial problems, and voice issues can have a high impact on patients' health-related quality of life. The aim was to show the feasibility of implementing an electronic Patient-Reported Outcome Measure (PROM) in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC).

[Automatic calculation and visualization of comorbidity scores for decision-making in tumor boards].

Objective: Comorbidity reduces treatment options for patients with head and neck cancer (HNC). Utilization of ICD-10 codes instead of manual research may facilitate estimation of comorbidity relevant for decision-making in the interdisciplinary tumor board (TB). Providing this information immediately in an intuitively ascertainable way whenever registering a patient for the TB would trigger awareness for comorbidities and shows potentially missing information.
