Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) as personalised cancer care: report from a 2023 Australian consensus meeting (PROActive)

Collecting self-reported health data directly from patients is increasingly recognised as having the potential to improve patients’ outcomes, and the 2023 Australian Cancer Plan (ACP) prioritised embedding PRO collection into national quality care monitoring.

Prior to the launch of the ACP, COSA’s PROs Working Group held a national workshop of health, policy and technical professionals, and cancer survivors and carers to identify their priorities for implementation of PROs in cancer care. This month, eClinical Medicine, published a viewpoint paper reporting on the findings of the workshop with particular focus on how the priorities identified fit with recommendations in the ACP.
