In the field of head and neck oncology, clinical outcomes are often employed. Clinician-reported outcome assessments (health professionals), observer-reported outcome assessments (caregivers), and patient-reported outcome assessments are the three categories that clinical outcome evaluations fall under (patient or proxies).
Based on a decade of experience, we identified the following crucial elements
for a successful implementation: institutional support and approval, inclusion
of all first-line caregivers, uniformity of team objectives and institutional
proposals, team formation and training, encouragement of the defined workflow
in routine clinical practise, and ongoing monitoring and analysis.
The knowledge gained from routinely assessing health-related quality of life
allows for a considerably more comprehensive and all-encompassing understanding
of its significance throughout the disease.
Because they are aware that these patient-centered outcomes will be utilised to
raise healthcare quality, which is also our main objective, patients with head
and neck cancer view questionnaires as an essential component of their
treatment plans.
