My Bowel Cancer My Voice - Healthcare professional

Become part of an expanding international community of healthcare providers dedicated to improving health outcomes for bowel cancer patients.
 
 
How would knowing what your patients are really experiencing between visits – physically, socially, and personally, because of their bowel cancer and treatment – help you in the decision-making process about their care?
 
Bowel cancer affects patients long after they leave hospital – health problems including chronic bowel issues, sexual dysfunction, dietary concerns, depression, and anxiety can remain for the rest of their lives.
 
Yet patients are reluctant to raise these matters with their medical team because they don’t want to take up valuable time discussing things, they fear will be considered trivial.i 
 
Using the patient-centred and scientifically validated ICHOM Set of Patient-Centred Outcome Measures for Colorectal Cancerii of patient-reported outcomes (PROs), co-funded by Bowel Cancer Australia, My Bowel Cancer, My Voice allows sensitive issues to be raised in systematic ways, prompting conversations which otherwise might not take placeiii.

By prioritising the concerns your patients consider to be most important, PROs can help you deliver treatment and care that is more personalised, responsive, and effective - giving real meaning to the term 'patient-centred care'.
