Measure whether a video second check before chemotherapy at home is as safe as two nurses in the room

The standard. The ASCO-ONS Antineoplastic Therapy Administration Safety Standards (2024) added a fourth verification at the patient's side and allow the second clinician to take part "through appropriate institutionally approved video-enabled technology, with at least one person on site".

The gap. The same document says that a review of remote verification found it "is feasible and may be alike live two-person checks; however, no well-designed research has evaluated the impact on safety", and cautions that reliance on technology can still lead to medication errors. Home administration is growing, so the number of checks done this way is likely to grow with it; how often it is used has not been measured.
