ASCO Quality Rapid Reaction

John Elliott from Carevive attended the ASCO Quality Conference in Chicago, where he had the opportunity to connect with partners and thought leaders in the field. The conference centered around quality improvement and its impact on patients, processes, and outcomes. John was joined by Dr. Glasnick, Carevive’s Chief Scientific Officer, and together they shared their insights from the event, particularly regarding electronic patient-reported outcomes (EPROs) and research.

Key Takeaways:
EPROs emerged as a prominent topic at ASCO Quality, with an emphasis on their implementation and integration into clinical care delivery. Dr. Glasnick highlighted the importance of utilizing data in real-time to provide clinicians with actionable insights, which Carevive excels at through its people-process-technology partnership. The discussions also delved into health equity, including considerations of differential access and tech literacy in implementing ePROs and related questionnaires. Financial toxicity was another significant aspect addressed, focusing on the challenges of selecting validated questionnaires, integrating them effectively, and leveraging the generated data for meaningful research.
