PC3I Presents 17 Abstracts at 2023 ASCO Quality Care Symposium
October 26, 2023
The 2023 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Quality Care Symposium brings together oncologists from around the world to address the quality, safety, and efficiency of care delivery. Taking place October 27-28 in Boston, MA, the symposium will feature 17 abstracts from Innovation Faculty, Fellows, and staff at the Penn Center for Cancer Care Innovation (PC3I).
PC3I researchers are dedicated to designing, testing, and scaling innovative strategies to improve patient access to care, increase patient engagement, and promote equitable and efficient cancer care delivery. This year, these strategies include:
- examining patient-specific factors and preferences to deliver tailored care;
- utilizing digital interventions to bridge gaps in physician-patient communication; and
- testing behavioral economics strategies and financial interventions to reduce burdens of cancer care.
Throughout their work, PC3I Faculty and Fellows highlight and prioritize patient-centered interventions to deliver equitable and innovative cancer care.
