This case study reviews the design and development of a mobile-based intelligent pain management system (IPMS) app in cancer patient care and pain management in a rural hospital in China. Healthcare professionals were involved throughout the design to the evaluation stages. The IPMS facilitated real-time pain recording and timely intervention among cancer patients with pain. To evaluate the effectiveness of the IPMS, a clinical trial was administrated under the supervision of healthcare professionals. The result confirmed that the IPMS was a feasible, effective, and low-cost pain management tool for cancer patients and healthcare professionals. This case provides preliminary data to support the potentials of using IPMS in cancer pain management and emphasized that the involvement of healthcare professional throughout the system development lifecycle is crucial to the successful implementation of the IPMS.

e18320 Background: As the burden of cancer is on the rise, there is a need to understand the logistics in caring for cancer patients. Internists and nurses are integral part of cancer care team, alongside oncologists. Our aim was to assess their knowledge, attitude and practice in order to identify areas of strength and limitation to help devise opportunities to enhance care. Methods: A close ended cross-sectional survey was conducted among internal medicine physicians, residents and nurses. We developed 36 questions broadly based on cancer-care and distributed them randomly. Additionally, subjects were asked to list factors limiting their ability to provide effective care. We semi quantitatively graded the depth of awareness amongst participants. A total of 95 health care providers were included in the final analysis. Results: Only 62% of participants were accurate in knowledge based questions. About 57% believed all cancer patients benefit from less aggressive treatment and considered chemotherapy side-effects to be the most common cause of hospitalization. Total of 94% reported effective care coordination by visiting nurses, primary care providers in outpatient settings decrease readmissions. Seventy percent thought a dedicated inpatient service run by Oncologists would be better for cancer patient care, with 96% preferring co-management. Around 80% felt they were better able to manage decompensated heart failure and fulminant liver disease than oncological emergencies like neutropenic fever. All the attendings (100%) were comfortable discussing new cancer diagnosis compared to 65% residents and 60% nurses. However 58% of them would like the health care proxy to be involved in all goals of care decisions, irrespective of patient’s capacity. Conclusions: Surprisingly, the baseline knowledge about cancer-care is suboptimal and there is a significant gap in expected versus real cancer-care delivery. Most commonly encountered factors hindering patient-care were lack of awareness of cancer illness trajectories and unclear goals of care with inter-provider disparities/gaps in understanding them. Initiatives such as targeted education, shared care plan and engaging patients at every step is crucial.

Little is known on how disasters interact in their impacts on patient care. We experienced a breast cancer patient whose initial presentation was delayed for two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Typhoon Hagibis. Increasing awareness is needed on the combined impacts of disasters on breast cancer management.

Handling an event requires a repetitive and complex task; from initial preparation until its conclusion. One of the important elements in an innovation event is the jurying process. The jurying process usually involves tasks with higher priority and must be completed in limited duration, usually within 4 to 5 days. The inexistence of inexpensive jurying information systems leads to the development of the i-Jury management system (i-Jury). The i-jury management system was developed based on PHP programming language, MySQL database, and jQuery. The development of the information system follows the System Development Lifecycle methodology.  The findings show that the development of the information system speeds up the process of managing jury, project management, as well as speeding up the disbursement of results, comparing to previous traditional evaluation methods

The number of cancer patients has been steadily increasing and with it the number of cancer related pain patients is also increasing. Cancer pain (CP) is the most unique and versatile pain, regarding type, intensity, site, variations and the needed management modalities. No one pain specialist or the pain center can be capable of adequately manage every cancer patient. In this background, an idea to confront this menace at a national level with a combined effort is presented. If implemented it is hoped that the CP patients will get rid of at least the worry about their excruciating pain. The idea of the ‘Cancer Pain Initiative’ has been in circulation for quite some time, but needs to be discussed at various levels. Key words: Cancer; Cancer pain; Pain management Citation: Khan TH.
