Remote monitoring of patients undergoing chemotherapy has been launched in Moscow oncology centers. More than 1.6 thousand cancer patients are already participating in the project. Thanks to the service, doctors will be able to continuously monitor the condition of patients, promptly adjust therapy and formulate the most optimal treatment tactics. This was reported by Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development.
"In the capital, we are creating a comprehensive approach to working with cancer patients – from routing in the clinic to providing discounted drugs. A new stage in this system was the project of remote support for a certain number of patients on chemotherapy in Moscow cancer centers. Now, between courses of treatment, they can fill out questionnaires about their health online and consult with doctors as part of telemedicine appointments. This allows specialists to receive up-to-date data on the dynamics of a person's condition, continuously monitor it, promptly track critical changes, adjust treatment tactics and remotely prescribe the necessary tests. Today, the project already has more than 1,600 participants; in six months, they have completed more than nine thousand surveys and over three thousand consultations," said Anastasia Rakova.
Project participants can take periodic online surveys about their well-being after chemotherapy in the EMIAS. INFO mobile application in the Monitoring and Surveys section. They will be reminded of this by special notifications. The system then analyzes the data received and automatically identifies patients who have a high risk of developing adverse events. The chemotherapist is required to review the survey results within one working day. They are presented in the unified medical information and analytical system (EMIAS) in the form of a table: the color indication of the results shows potential risks to the patient's health so that specialists can conduct an urgent telemedicine consultation if necessary.
Thus, the new service helps to promptly identify side effects, adjust treatment, prevent complications and ensure continuity of antitumor therapy. In all outpatient oncology care centers, each patient is assigned a chemotherapist. In EMIAS, a registry of patients on monitoring has been created for doctors, which contains all the necessary information about them. Here you can see the date of the last completed survey, the result of a remote consultation, and also create lists of patients by various parameters.
In 2019, a new standard of oncological care was approved in the city. The structure of the oncology service includes five anchor centers that combine all technological and human resources. Each of them includes a pathomorphological laboratory, outpatient oncology care centers and inpatient oncology surgery departments. This allows for a full cycle of diagnostics and treatment of specialized patients to be organized in one structure. Thanks to this, the time for diagnosis is reduced, its accuracy is increased, and therapy can be started faster.
Moscow has been digitalizing its healthcare system for over 10 years. The basis of this process is a single digital platform, which is being developed jointly by the capital's social development complex and the city Department of Information TechnologyIt helps to provide personalized care to each patient at all stages – from diagnosis and treatment to follow-up.
