Survivorship care plans generated automatically from the treatment record
Every patient finishing treatment should get a clear document listing what they had, what to watch for, and when to be checked. Software can write it from the record so it actually happens.
Survivorship care plans are recommended by every major body but are produced for a minority of patients because writing them by hand takes an hour. Structured treatment data (regimens, cumulative doses, radiation fields, surgery) can be mapped by rules to late-effect risks and evidence-based surveillance schedules (for example, the Children's Oncology Group long-term follow-up guidelines) and rendered for patient and family doctor automatically, with clinician review.
- Survivorship and late effects are neglected · Tens of millions of people live after cancer with heart damage, infertility, second cancers and fear, and few services.
- Fragmented care and guideline gaps · Patients fall between specialists, wait for referrals and often do not get the treatment guidelines say they should.
