Patients and families need to become “vigilant partners” in MSE self-reporting when transitioning back home. However, limited evidence is available to guide patient and family engagement in preventing and managing MSEs. This study explored patients’ perceptions of using technology for MSE self-reporting by interviewing 41 patients with breast, prostate, lung, or colorectal cancer. The findings revealed that patients with cancer perceived technology as convenient and easy to use to address urgent MSE concerns. However, the lack of access to technology and being unconfident in using technology can be barriers to using technology for MSE reporting. Personalized support is needed to facilitate patients’ engagement in MSE self-reporting. Factors identified in the study will further support the user-centered design and development of technology systems that can support patients’ needs and expectations for medication safety.  \nKeywords  \nmedication safety; patient-reported outcomes; technology acceptance and use; patient engagement  \n1. Introduction  \nPatients with cancer face frequent transitions of care between hospitals, clinics, and homes, which makes them vulnerable to medication safety events (MSEs) [1] . MSEs are any avoidable events that could result in improper medication usage or patient harm, such as medication errors [2] . The increased use of oral anticancer agents also requires patients and their families to manage medication at home, including MSE monitoring and reporting. Unfortunately, patient and family engagement in reporting MSEs has not been well integrated into current cancer care delivery [1] . Limited evidence is available to guide patient and family engagement in preventing MSE and promoting safety in cancer care, particularly during care transitions.  \nThis article is published online with Open Access by IOS Press and distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial License 4.0 (CC BY-NC 4.0) .  \n[1](1Corresponding author: Yun Jiang jiangyu@umich.edu)[Corresponding author: Yun Jiang jiangyu@umich.edu](1Corresponding author: Yun Jiang jiangyu@umich.edu).  \nAuthor Manuscript Author Manuscript Author Manuscript Author Manuscript  \nGAHN et al. Page 2  \nWith a growing interest in utilizing health information technology (HIT) to improve patients’ medication safety and health outcomes, patients can report their safety concerns in real time at home using computers, tablets, or mobile phones [3] . Such development of HIT can improve communication between clinicians and patients and early detection of MSEs  \n[2] . Also, it enables healthcare professionals to have a comprehensive approach to decisionmaking in treatment plans by considering patient-reported data and clinical assessments [4] . Despite many benefits, the application of technologies for patients’MSE reporting is not yet optimal for patients with cancer. Previously published literature suggested several barriers hindering patient engagement in using technology for cancer MSE reporting, such as the lack of access to technology, low health literacy, and socioeconomic status [3] .
