The European MyPath project aims to implement and evaluate electronic Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (ePROMs) in oncology. Nine oncology centres prepared the integration of an ePROMs tool into their local Electronic Health Records (EHRs), offering insight into the technological and organizational conditions required for successful adoption.
