Implementation Challenges of Remote Cancer Symptom Management With Electronic Patient‑Reported Outcomes in China’s Primary Health Care Settings: Qualitative Study
Grounded in the IS framework, our study identifies 3 critical priorities for implementing ePRO-based cancer symptom management in PHC settings, including addressing individual-level motivational deficiencies among community-dwelling patients with cancer and PHC providers by resolving misconceptions, bridging knowledge gaps, and establishing supportive incentives; developing supportive medical partnerships and advancing tiered management systems to empower PHC settings; and creating standardized operational guidelines with clear workflows and implementing real-world data-driven regulatory feedback mechanisms to ensure quality control.
