2. Benefits of PROMs for clinical practice
Summary
When well embedded in workflows, PROM use in oncology can
- play a major role in problem identification and needs-based targeted initiation of clinical interventions
- support standardised, comprehensive, and transparent documentation and better communication with little or no additional resources
- provide indicators of therapy and care quality within and across institutions
- support resource allocation and save costs.
