Expediting Cancer Treatment Through a Rapid Access APP-Led Diagnostic Clinic

Описание: In the summer of 2020, staff at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute in Columbus, Ohio, realized that many patients experiencing symptoms for cancer and those who needed further evaluation to reach a diagnosis were now actively avoiding the hospital given the COVID-19 pandemic. The underlying concern: the global pandemic might result in more patients presenting with late-stage disease that could have been diagnosed earlier. To fill this care gap, The James Cancer Hospital opened a new set of front doors to its facility—The James Cancer Diagnostic Center—where patients can be evaluated, diagnosed, and treated all under one roof.
