"Patient-centered care focuses on what's most important to the patient rather than what is important to clinicians or other people. It brings the patient's voice front and center into the conversation." -Mary Cooley We spoke with Mary Cooley, PhD, RN, FAAN, about the advantages of clinical decision support in managing patient care and how it differs from the typical standard of care. Her presentation was part of the panel titled “Treating the Individual” at the 2023 Clinical Pathways Congress + Cancer Care Business Exchange.

It is every patient’s nightmare: A delayed cancer diagnosis. Too many people are familiar with the consequences, which can include a prolonged and tougher course of treatment, increased likelihood of recurrence, emotional suffering, and even death. A delayed cancer diagnosis is also every care provider’s nightmare. Recognizing that delays in cancer diagnoses resulting from lapses in communication pose a significant risk to #patientsafety, an effort known as ambulatory safety nets is underway in Massachusetts to safeguard against these errors. https://lnkd.in/g3YJBeSU #PSAW #PSAW24 #PatientSafetyAwarenessWeek

#WorldCancerDay means a lot to me as an oncologist. Many of you know, I have lived in different countries and I have seen first-hand the impact of cancer on patients and families. #WorldCancerDay also reminds me how science, innovation and dedication can help to discover and deliver life-changing treatments to patients. However, it also reminds us of the significant unmet need to address early detection, and the need for equitable treatment and care for all #closethecaregap is more relevant than ever. This campaign theme is not just a slogan; it’s a commitment to action. Cancer touches lives indiscriminately, but the level of care that people receive is far from equitable. Let's focus together on raising awareness, encouraging tangible change, making sure that quality health services are accessible to all, irrespective of their personal circumstances. I've started my fight against cancer several years ago and I will not stop....Fighting together we can bring more positive and fast change for everyone. 🌟 #InFrontofCancer * Pour de soins plus justes * Por unos cuidados mas justos #WorldCancerday #closethecaregap #reaserch #oncology #purpose #patientcare #InFrontofCancer #mycompany
