Clinician documentation of social circumstances of older and younger women receiving chemotherapy for early breast cancer
Clinician notes pertaining to younger patients as compared to older patients more often provided affirmative and specific documentation that the patient was living with someone, a caregiver for someone, and accompanied by someone during the chemotherapy infusion visit. These three factors are important to document and monitor in patients of all ages as they can impact treatment experience and quality of life during and after chemotherapy.
