Learning Objectives

• Understand how one provincial cancer jurisdiction in Canada integrated patient reported outcomes into routine care to improve capacity for targeted symptom management.
• Explore trends, patterns, and predictive capacity of routinely collected PRO data in relation to the cancer patients being treated for Advanced Cancer (8,500 patients in 2023).
• Discuss efforts underway to harness this data and our provincial EMR to develop decision support tools to flag patients who benefit from palliative care.

Please note that this lecture will be given in English. Closed captions will be available in French (and other languages) for those attending online.
