Patient-Reported Data at Dana-Farber
Hearing the Patient Voice
At Dana-Farber, patients can share important information directly with their care team through pre-visit questionnaires. Responses to these questionnaires give your care team valuable information to support your care. This information contributes to Dana-Farber’s efforts to improve quality of care and has been shown to improve outcomes such as quality of life, survival, and reduced visits to the emergency department.
Patients can complete pre-visit questionnaires online through Patient Gateway or on iPads in Dana-Farber clinics.
The Patient-Reported Data Program uses questionnaires to collect important information from patients throughout their cancer care. You might be asked about these topics at different points throughout your care:
New Patients
- Health history
- Symptoms
- Health-related social needs
Returning Patients
- Symptoms
- Quality of life
- Mental health
