Cancer Symptom Algorithm Presented in JNCCN Can Aid Doctors in Predicting Patients at Risk for Unplanned Emergency Visits

Wednesday, February 15, 2023

PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa., Feb. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- New research in the February 2023 issue of JNCCN—Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network illustrates how the use of an algorithm to calculate a patient-reported symptom complexity score can help oncologists identify patients who are at increased risk for unplanned visits to the emergency department (ED), creating the potential for additional proactive care, and the reduction of healthcare costs.

Key Points: 
  • The researchers used the Edmonton Symptom Assessment System-Revised (ESASr) as a measurement tool for the most-common symptoms experienced by people with cancer.
  • After classifying each patient's symptom complexity based on the number and severity of symptoms reported, the researchers correlated the symptom complexity with the odds of having an ED visit within a week.
  • Of 29,164 unique patients with cancer who had completed a PRO questionnaire between October 1, 2019 and April 1, 2020, 738 experienced an ED visit within seven days.
  • Patients with moderate symptom complexity also had nearly twice the odds of needing either type of acute, hospital-based unplanned care compared to those with low complexity.

Clinical Trial Results Demonstrate Oshi Health's Multidisciplinary GI Care Improves Patient Outcomes with Savings Greater than $10,000 Per Patient Within Six Months

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, January 31, 2023

NEW YORK, Jan. 31, 2023  /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Clinical trial results presented at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) Forum show that virtual multidisciplinary care for gastrointestinal (GI) disorders from Oshi Health resulted in significantly higher levels of patient engagement, satisfaction, and symptom control. The prospective clinical trial, conducted in partnership with a national health plan in a large commercially insured population (n=332), also found that patients had fewer missed work days, improvements in work productivity, and statistically significant reductions in healthcare costs after six months, compared to propensity-matched controls.

Key Points: 
  • Patients with chronic GI disorders lack access to multidisciplinary care, resulting in poor patient outcomes and avoidable emergency services, testing, and procedures.
  • We now have an opportunity to broaden what has traditionally been considered standard GI care and radically transform subspecialty care for both patients and physicians."
  • Engagement: Patients exhibited high levels of engagement across the multidisciplinary care team, averaging more than 10 visits with Oshi Health clinicians.
  • Forward-thinking GI practices know that the future of GI care will be hybrid collaboration between gastroenterologists and virtual care providers to leverage platforms like Oshi Health to prove value and enhance care for patients."
