O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar se há benefícios no telemonitoramento de sintomas pós quimioterapia com dispositivos mobile em comparação com modelo tradicional de visitas médicas intervalares no cuidado de pacientes oncológicos, de modo a propiciar ganhos em desfechos prioritários para paciente. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de artigos publicados no Pubmed e Scielo nos últimos cinco anos. Termos de busca incluíram cancer, neoplasia, neoplasms, oncology, medical oncology, cancer care facilities, oncology service, telemedicine, telemonitoring, teleoncology, mobile health, mhealth, m-health, e-health, ehealth, videogame, mobile game, mobile app, app-technology, chemotherapy, drug therapy, treatment, drug therapy. Foram incluídos estudos randomizados e controlados, publicados em língua inglesa, pacientes oncológicos expostos a quimioterapia, supervisionados remotamente das toxidades agudas induzidas por quimioterapia, com os dados inseridos por dispositivos mobile. Para extração de dados, dois revisores utilizaram ficha com campos de informação padronizados. Os estudos analisados após critérios de elegibilidade apontam melhor controle de sintomas e desfechos. Conclui-se que telemonitorar toxidade pós quimioterapia por meio de dispositivos mobile gera melhor controle de sintomas e reduz complicações.

Care Facilities

The nuts and bolts of planning and designing cancer care facilities—the physical space, the social systems, the clinical and nonclinical workflows, and all of the patient-facing services—directly influence the quality of clinical care and the overall patient experience. Cancer facilities should be conceived and constructed on the basis of evidence-based design thinking and implementation, complemented by input from key stakeholders such as patients, families, and clinicians. Specifically, facilities should be designed to improve the patient experience, offer options for urgent care, maximize infection control, support and streamline the work of multidisciplinary teams, integrate research and teaching, incorporate palliative care, and look beyond mere diagnosis and treatment to patient wellness—all tailored to each cancer center’s patient population and logistical and financial constraints. From conception to completion to iterative reevaluation, motivated institutions can learn to make their own facilities reflect the excellence in cancer care that they aim to deliver to patients.

Кластерный подход, разработанный М. Портером, позволяет выполнить верификацию наличия кластера в сфере охраны здоровья в регионе. Авторы в своем исследовании доказали наличие данного кластера в Байкальском регионе. В статье также представлена разработанная для кластера SWOT-матрица и кратко описана модель организации онкологической помощи в рамках кластера в сфере охраны здоровья в Байкальском регионе. The cluster approach, developed by M. Porter, gives an opportunity to verify the availability of the health care cluster in a region. The authors within the framework of their research proved the availability of such a cluster in the Baikal region. The SWOT-matrix developed especially for the cluster is presented in the article, as well as the model of organizing the cancer care facilities within the framework of the health care cluster in the Baikal region is briefly described.

Successes And Challenges

Abstract Purpose: This study aimed to document the successes and challenges of teleprehabilitation programs for cancer patients undergoing surgery.Method: This pilot-cohort study included adults scheduled for elective cancer surgery, referred to the prehabilitation clinic to engage in physical activity and received a teleprehabilitation program between August 1st 2020 and February 28th 2021. Using a technology platform that included a tablet and was wearable, data were acquired through virtual physical activity monitoring in addition to patient charts.Results: Ten patients (8 males and 2 females; mean age: 68.3 years, SD: 11.96) diagnosed with various thoraco-abdominal malignancies were included in the current descriptive study. The successes identified were related to recruitment and assessment, improvement in functional capacity, clinic scheduling and interventions, and optimal medical follow-up. The challenges identified were related to the adoption of the technologies by patients and the multidisciplinary team, the accurate acquisition of patient physical activity data, and the initial costs to acquire the new technologies. Patients were satisfied with the teleprehabilitation program (i.e., services delivered; average appreciation: 96%), and they perceived the technologies provided to be 90% user-friendly.Conclusion: The findings of the current study are paramount in view of the current international health paradigm changes prioritizing remote interventions facilitated through digital communication technologies. It provides important insight into the clinical application of telehealth in elderly populations, notably in the context of acute preoperative cancer care. This article may provide guidance for other cancer care facilities aiming to implement teleprehabilitation programs.
