Survivors identified five key areas for care improvement and suggested that e-health could support information provision, communication, and health monitoring.
The analysis identified five themes for improving care delivery: better recognition of complaints and faster referrals, more information throughout the care pathway, more guidance and monitoring of health outcomes, more collaboration between practitioners, and more attention for partners and relatives. Survivors expressed that e-health technology could facilitate information provision, improve communication among stakeholders, and enable remote health monitoring. The study concludes that while survivors offer valuable, experience-based suggestions, the implementation of existing e-health tools needs to be addressed to match stakeholder needs. Limitations include a relatively small, young, and highly educated sample, and a discussion guided by only two clinical vignettes.
