CCO Identified Issue…
Cancer Patient Symptoms Not Optimally Managed
Inconsistency in cancer symptom management practices across
province
Clinicians can fail to recognize 50-80% of patient concerns
during consultation
(Ruland et al, J Am Med Inform Assoc, 2010)
Adequate symptom management is not consistently achieved for
cancer patients
(Patrick et al, J Natl Cancer Inst, 2003)
Poor system outcomes
~ 40% visit ED last 2 weeks; dyspnea and pain among most
common chief complaints
~ acute care LOS last 6 months (14 days)
(CSQI, 2010; Barbera et al, J Can Med Assoc, 2010)
