The increasing value of eHealth in the delivery of patient-centred cancer care.
This paper is an appraisal of peer literature over the past 10 years on patient-centered eHealth to improve cancer care delivery. Uses of eHealth include the addressal of symptom management, health-related quality of life, and other patient-reported outcomes across cancer care. Challenges of, and opportunities for accessibility, scalability, and implementation of these technologies is also discussed.

Lessons learned implementing a complex and innovative patient safety learning laboratory project in a large academic medical center.
This paper describes the challenges, recommendations and lessons learned while developing and implementing a Patient Safety Learning Laboratory (PSLL) project, which is comprised of a suite of HIT tools integrated with a newly implemented Electronic Health Record (EHR) vendor system in the acute care setting of a large academic medical center. The PSLL Administrative Core engaged stakeholders and study personnel throughout all phases of the project. Challenges to implementation included stakeholder engagement, project scope and complexity, technology and governance, and team structure. Some changes were implemented during the trial and others were labeled as lessons learned for future iterative interventions. A willingness to think outside of current workflows and processes to change health system culture around adverse event prevention was one of the keys to success.
