Risk factors for patient-reported errors during cancer follow-up: results from a national survey in Denmark.
Christiansen AH, Lipczak H, Knudsen JL, et al. Risk factors for patient-reported errors during cancer follow-up: Results from a national survey in Denmark. Cancer Epidemiol. 2017;49:38-45. doi:10.1016/j.canep.2017.05.004.
In this study, researchers surveyed a sample of cancer patients in Denmark to understand perceived errors in follow-up care. About a third of respondents identified one or more errors during follow-up. The authors suggest that improving test result management, care coordination, and medical records may help mitigate such errors.
