Colorectal Cancer Digital Care Pathway

Digitally monitor and manage the progress of your colorectal cancer patients from
admission to remission.

Higher quality care at your fingertips

As surgical and oncological therapies for colorectal cancer have improved, so has patient survivorship, but studies show that survivorship does NOT equate to improved Quality of Life (QoL).

To improve the outcomes of colorectal cancer patients, healthcare providers must consider the effects that treatment have on patients’ QoL, physical abilities, social functions and psychological states.

With our colorectal cancer pathway, capturing, analysing and acting on this data is now possible.

About the pathway

This colorectal cancer pathway is based on the International Consortium of Health Outcomes Measurement’s (ICHOM) Standard Set, which was developed, tested and validated by leading researchers and patient groups from around the world.

Patient Cohort & Treatment Type

  • Cohort:

    • Malignant colorectal neoplasia patients

  • Treatment Types:

    • Surgery

    • Radiotherapy

    • Chemotherapy

    • Targeted Therapy

Schedule

  • Baseline, pre-treatment

  • Immediate post treatment (optional)

  • 6 months post-treatment

  • 1 year post-treatment

  • 2 years post-treatment

  • Ongoing to 10 years post-treatment

Patient-Reported Outcome Measures

  • EORTC-QLQ-C30 (Key QoL Function Domains)

    • Physical - Role - Cog. - Emotional - Social

  • EORTC QLQ-CR29 (Colorectal Symptoms)

    • Bowel and Pelvic Symptoms

  • MSKCC Bowel Function

    • Dietary Subscale

  • EORTC QLQ-LCM21

    • Neuropathy Item

Key Benefits

  • Measure

    Redefine successful care delivery by measuring the health outcomes that matter most to patients. By tracking morbidity alongside mortality, you can deliver higher-quality care.

  • Improve

    Use the PROM data from each patient to drive value-based care by informing care delivery, monitoring progress, detecting complications early, and benchmarking results.

  • Automate

    Reduce administrative burden in managing patient-reported health data by automating each step in the process from outreach to collection and analysis of outcomes.

How it works

 
Digital Care Pathway journey icon
 

ZEDOC has complete patient-facing and provider-facing components that enable real-time outcomes to be captured remotely and fed back to care teams in real-time.

For Patients

At each point in the outcomes schedule, ZEDOC automatically communicates with patients (via SMS or Email) on behalf of the care team, sending secure links to their digital PROMs.

ZEDOC’s low friction patient app allows people to report their condition on their own devices, from anywhere. Key features include:

  • No download required

  • Accessibility settings to improve usability

  • Interactive elements that go beyond surveys

For Providers

With a centralised Provider Portal, ZEDOC turns raw PROM data into meaningful insights via interactive and real-time clinical dashboards.

Set up is simple and fast, with our team able to help you organise licenses for the instruments and get your staff trained with the system.
Key features include:

  • Set up within one week (pending licensing)

  • Billing managed either monthly or yearly
