Enhancing supportive medication patient education for oncology nurses.

Abstract

Abstract: This article discusses a quality improvement project that developed and implemented supportive care medication cards to enhance patient education in outpatient oncology settings. Recognizing the challenges oncology nurses face in delivering effective education amidst the complexities of cancer treatment, the project evaluates the impact of these cards on patient understanding and adherence to prescribed therapies. Results from a trial period indicate significant improvements in both nurse workflow and patient comprehension, ultimately contributing to safer and more effective oncology care.
