Abstract

ObjectiveTo review the use of electronic patient outcome measures (ePROMs) in advanced breast cancer (ABC) and its effectiveness in supporting remote symptom monitoring. Data SourcesAn overview of published randomized controlled trials using electronic patient-reported outcome measures (ePROMs) in ABC care. ConclusionThe use of ePROMs in ABC care combined with oncology clinical nurse specialist (CNS) interventions has shown that patient-centered care through remote monitoring of disease and treatment symptoms can improve ABC patient outcomes and experience. Implications for Nursing PracticeOncology clinical nurse specialists (CNSs) have an important role in the effective implementation of ePROMs in ABC care. CNSs are considered most appropriate to lead on and respond to ePROMs, addressing complex symptom issues and maximizing the quality of life (QoL) for the ABC patient. CNSs are a crucial link between the patient, primary and secondary level care health professionals, and the ePROM portal for ABC care.
