What did we learn?
✅ #CancerSurvivors want info about #FinancialToxicity even before starting treatment
✅ They want help understanding out-of-pocket costs and applying for financial aid 💸
✅ Younger folks are more interested in help

This can guide future interventions! [1/3]

🔥Hot off the press!🔥 In this new @MASCC_JSCC paper, @HuqMaisha @schwartm @heatherdv_phd @ThomasSGunning @VBHurley @marshalj23 @benweinbergmd @anteneht @DrClaireC and colleagues examined #FinancialToxicity intervention preferences among #CancerSurvivors. https://t.co/uX58WchOTQ

Catch your students doing well and TELL THEM. Most students have never had a prof email them to 👏 their participation/class contributions. I try to do this 3x per class the first few classes. It pays dividends! Those students 3x eager next class, they lead & bring others along.

#FinancialToxicity (problems related to the cost of cancer care) is very common. @DrClaireC and @UniversidadCES @MoffittResearch colleagues surveyed patients with advanced #OvarianCancer about financial toxicity. https://t.co/dieGiyfVIP @ElsaMariaVasqu @SVadaparampil @RMWenham

I always appreciate seeing studies like this one that sits at the intersection of reducing low-value care and the challenges of navigating height-of-pandemic decision-making. @QMHonline

Their study highlights the need to be thoughtful about designing HIT that meets needs of healthcare teams — i.e., including reasons for discontinuation when medications are stopped! Helpful for pharmacy teams to know to ensure safe care!

[Taylor L. Watterson @WattersonTL]

Check out this neat paper by S. Pitts and team about CancelRx. They interviewed both pharmacists AND pharmacy technicians! who “reported seeking multiple information needs not fully addressed by CancelRx to achieve the shared goals of correct dispensing of medications”

Lots of fascinating take-aways including the frequency with which pharmacists & pharmacy techs “dig for data” in EHRs to supplement/clarify what they see in a CancelRx message. Clearly plenty of opportunities to refine structured data fields to reduce the need fir workarounds!

[Vanessa Hurley @VBHurley]

Grateful for fantastic collaborators from @JohnsHopkins and the publication of our first qualitative study of the implementation of CancelRx. We did a deep dive into information needs of pharmacy staff with the aim of articulating how CancelRx could be more user-centered.

[ERCSP @ERCSPjournal]

Outpatient community pharmacy staff in an academic health care system often seek additional information from the electronic health record (EHR) following medication changes communicated by CancelRx to meet their information needs. https://t.co/5QsKHnMP2i

really helpful to get feedback on using tools in routine care, and not just evaluation of patients' knowledge, decisional conflict, etc. @doctorjuanpa @vmontori et al. #MDMtwitter https://t.co/MyEcH3r9Ws

SDM should result in a plan of care that is maximally responsive to the biology and biography of each patient, maximally supportive of each patient's goals and priorities, and minimally disruptive of their lives and loves. #MDMTwitter #cancer @vmontori https://t.co/X3Uqrly6np

@mcpoliti @vmontori So articulately and succinctly well said!!
