| description | This paper describes the program development and evaluation experience at the Toronto-Sunnybrook Regional Cancer Centre between September 1990 and September 1992, with the Home Oncology Model Evaluation Pilot Program (H.O.M.E.) This paper demonstreates that the H.O.M.E. was clinically feasible, that no situation arose to jeopardize patient safety and that patient treatment was not compromised by treating chemotherapy patients in the home environment. The program proved to be a benefit for individuals who were physically debilitated but who wished to continue their chemotherapy at home. The authors believe that the program design utilized is a model which can be used as a basis for planning home chemotherapy in other communities.
Note: The program was made possible through the generous contribution of a private benefactor. |
