Topic 384: CancerCostDetox: Detoxing Cancer Care Financial Toxicity

令人望而却步的癌症护理费用被广泛描述。有保险的患者接受癌症治疗仍然会造成相当大的经济负担。不坚持是研究最充分的结果之一，它是由更高的护理成本引起的。财务困难也与治疗相关决策的变化有关，包括因为费用而决定不接受治疗疗程。解决临床癌症护理的成本现在被描述为高质量以患者为中心的护理的一个组成部分。我们的首要目标是开发和评估CancerCostDetox，这是一个癌症护理决策支持系统，特别关注评估患者在经济困难中的风险，计算患者对不同治疗方案的自付成本，促进从疗效和成本两方面比较治疗方案，并为减轻经济负担提供量身定制的财务资源。

The prohibitive cost of cancer care has been widely described. Cancer treatment received by patients with insurance can still result in a considerable financial burden. Non-adherence is one of the best-studied outcomes resulting from higher care costs. Financial distress has also been linked to changes in treatment related decision making, including the decision against a treatment course because of cost. Addressing the costs of cancer care in the clinic is now described as a component of high-quality patient-centered care. Our overarching goal is to develop and evaluate CancerCostDetox, a cancer care decision support system with special focus on assessing patients’ risk in financial hardship, calculating patients’ out-of-pocket costs for different treatment options and facilitating the comparison of treatment options in terms of both effectiveness and cost, and providing tailored financial resources in alleviating the financial burden.
