Communication between nurses, physicians and other professions concerning PRO data should be integrated into the workflow.
Nurse
| | “If [patients] only get oral chemotherapy, then we [nurses] don't see them. This is then purely a doctor-patient story and we are not involved at all from the nursing side. Then it is more difficult for us to react to it - if the patient has any problems. […] In this sense […] it would be all the more important for educational talks to take place with caregivers, especially with regard to side-effect management.” |

Physician
| | “[We communicate about PROMs by] looking at them with the nurses and see whether the reported complaints correlate with what the impression of the nursing is or what our impression is too.” |
| | |
Nurse
| | “At the moment it is really important that nurses have good contact with their medical colleagues. There are patients for whom certain actions are required. That has to be explained in the conversation, but through these assessment instruments (PRO measures), if they are also written down or visible in the patient files, this is also important for the doctor so that he can derive further steps from it.” |
