Telehealth and cancer care

Tele-oncology can be used throughout the cancer care continuum, from prevention through end-of-life. Virtual visits, online patient portals, remote patient monitoring, connected devices, and other technologies can support overall cancer education as well as care delivery, such as specialty consultations, treatment planning, medication and symptom management, palliative care, and follow-up care. By combining telehealth with in-person services, hybrid care enables patients and caregivers to work with care teams to coordinate care and reduce unnecessary travel.

This best practice guide provides guidance and tools to help health care providers plan and deliver telehealth services as part of cancer care.
