Medication administration in the home can be prone to error, particularly for patients with complex medical needs. This qualitative study explored oncology patients’ willingness to report medication-related safety events after a care transition back home. Participants highlighted the importance of the patient-clinician relationship and promoting patient activation (e.g., confidence, engagement) in self-management activities.
