“…Cancer patients in particular have high information needs, and these might be well-served by interaction with an EHR 14 by, for example, using a patient portal, as discussed below. Even at the level of a single provider and patient, there are opportunities to integrate the EHR more fully into the visit as an enabler of patient-centered care and a communication tool.…”

Patient-centered care is an important aspect of high-quality care. Health informatics, particularly advances in technology, has the potential to facilitate, or detract from, patient-centered cancer care. Informatics can provide a mechanism for patients to provide their clinician(s) with critical information, and to share information with family, friends, and other patients. This information may enable patients to exert greater control over their own care. Clinicians may use information systems (e.g., electronic medical records) to coordinate care and share information with other clinicians. Patients and clinicians may use communication tools and information resources to interact with one another in new ways. Caution in using new information resources is warranted to avoid reliance on biased or inappropriate data, and clinicians may need to direct patients to appropriate information resources. Perhaps the greatest challenge for both patients and providers is identifying information that is high-quality and which enhances (and does not impede) their interactions.

“…Patient centered communication has been shown to influence the recall of information, treatment adherence, and satisfaction with care and health outcomes [21,70,[109][110][111][112][113]. In a study by Johnson et al, physicians were found to be more verbally dominant, and therefore less 'patient centered' when dealing with African American patients [109].…”

“…In the US, there are approximately nineteen -million people who have a limited proficiency in English, Studies have shown that language discordance harms healthcare process and lowers the patients' ratings of care [113][114][115][116][117][118][119][120][121][122][123][124][125]. In a study involving Hispanic patients, it was discovered that those proficient in English were more likely to have medication side effects explained to them and have a higher patient satisfaction rating [117].…”

Abstract:Background: Patient-centered care that encompasses informed decision making can improve treatment choice, quality of care and outcomes. Patient-centered care recognizes the need for major changes in the process of care that arranges health care system around the patient.Objective: Study objective was to evaluate and discuss the interplay of components of patient-centered care by developing a conceptual model of patient-centered care.Methods: Comprehensive literature review was conducted using Medline, CINAHL, and Cochrane databases. Included were English language studies addressing issues related to patient-centered-care and patient reported outcomes.Results: Though the concept of patient-centered care emerged in the early 50s, it exploded in the health care research policy arena exponentially in the late nineties. The conceptual model described here can aid objective and subjective evaluation of patient-centered care. As we strive to improve the quality of care, patient-centered care can play a pivotal role in this process. This however requires changes in our healthcare system so as to improve overall quality of care by minimizing wasteful health resource consumption. Conclusions:With healthcare costs projected to continue their rapid increase, the current paradigm of healthcare is unsustainable. More research is needed to explore the various attributes of patient-centered care, its acceptability, and comparative effectiveness in the healthcare arena.

“…Examples include surgery to remove a tumor, systemic chemotherapy and established psycho‐oncology interventions, such as various psychotherapies, or exercise and diet changes targeting poor coping and distress in cancer survivors. Quaternary prevention refers to highly specialized care which aims to alleviate unnecessary intervention and focus on reducing suffering and optimize comfort, as in palliative medicine . The public health and research goals for the four levels of prevention are presented in Table .…”

The missing piece: cancer prevention within psycho‐oncology — a commentary

In this commentary, we review the place of prevention within the field of Psycho-Oncology. The thrust of Psycho-Oncology's clinical and research efforts have historically focused on behavioral and social factors implicated in the cancer patients' experience from detection and diagnosis, to treatment, survivorship and end of life along the cancer trajectory. This conceptualization has raised the standards for research, leading to a better understanding of the patient experience and the delivery of highly effective interventions to improve quality of life. Emerging data on the role of potential prevention behaviors (e.g., diet and exercise, smoking cessation, screening, etc.) suggests that Psycho-Oncology has a significant role to play in understanding and intervening on a population level to reduce cancer incidence. We present and describe an expanded model of research in Psycho-Oncology which incorporates psychosocial variables in prevention research to complement Holland et al. 's (1998, 2010) original model. The implications of this model are discussed in relation to research, clinical work and training within the discipline of Psycho-Oncology.
