Weill Cornell Medicine, New York, New York, United States  \nPalliative care (PC) aims to improve quality of life by managing physical and psychological symptoms. High symptom burden is a primary driver of PC referral, yet gaps in symptom assessment limit the impact of PC interventions. Given that ambulatory PC visits often occur weeks apart, day-to-day symptom patterns may go unrecognized and recall bias during appointments may further hinder the quality of data on which treatment decisions are based.  \nRemote symptom assessment (RSA), the collection of symptom data outside of clinical visits via digital or telephonic methods, offers a potential solution but remains underutilized. We aimed to understand the perspectives of PC patients and clinicians on RSA to improve symptom monitoring in ambulatory PC. We conducted a descriptive-exploratory qualitative study using semi-structured interviews with 10 PC patients and 9 PC clinicians at a single ambulatory PC program. Thematic analysis, using hybrid inductive-deductive coding, identified key themes regarding RSA’s benefits, desired features, and challenges. Participants viewed RSA as a tool to empower both patients and clinicians in managing symptoms. Desired features included facile user interfaces, structured reminder systems, and alerts for clinical changes. Participant concerns included technical complexity, time burden, and information burden. Ultimately, both patients and clinicians felt that RSA could enhance symptom management in the ambulatory PC setting, but only if developed with high usability and minimized burden. These findings highlight the need for user-centered RSA tools tailored to the ambulatory PC setting. Future research should focus on co-designing and piloting RSA platforms to optimize  \nfeasibility and clinical integration. -  \n-","cbCaitjcV88MnElN","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitjcV88MnElN","pdf",494364,"English","# Background\n# Study Aim\n# Methods\n# Results\n## Perceived Benefits\n## Desired RSA Features\n## Key Challenges\n# Implications and Future Research","[{\"question\":\"Why is symptom assessment difficult in ambulatory palliative care visits?\",\"answer\":\"Ambulatory palliative care visits often occur weeks apart, so day-to-day symptom patterns can be missed, and recall bias during appointments can reduce the quality of data used for treatment decisions.\"},{\"question\":\"How was remote symptom assessment (RSA) evaluated in the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study conducted a descriptive-exploratory qualitative design using semi-structured interviews with 10 palliative care patients and 9 palliative care clinicians at a single ambulatory program, followed by thematic analysis using hybrid inductive-deductive coding.\"},{\"question\":\"What RSA features did participants most want?\",\"answer\":\"Participants desired facile user interfaces, structured reminder systems, and alerts for clinical changes to support symptom monitoring between visits.\"},{\"question\":\"What concerns could limit adoption of RSA?\",\"answer\":\"Reported concerns included technical complexity, time burden, and information burden, leading participants to conclude that RSA should enhance care only when usability is high and burden is minimized.\"}]","REMOTE SYMPTOM ASSESSMENT IN PALLIATIVE CARE: PATIENT AND CLINICIAN PERSPECTIVES | PDF",1790636544]
