Patients with Cancer Report a Strong Preference to Receive Care in the Home and On-Demand Access to Oncology Care Teams
Nashville, TN -- Reimagine Care, whose mission is to provide affordable, accessible, home-centered cancer care, has released findings from its 2023 Consumer Research Report.
Reimagine Care was founded in response to the evolving needs and preferences of patients with cancer, who are increasingly seeking the ability to receive care at home due to its convenience and ease of access. 82% of patients with cancer want to receive care at home, and over 90% want on-demand access to an oncology expert, according to Reimagine Care’s 2023 Consumer Research Report. With Reimagine Care’s team of clinicians and integrated technologies, patients are able to receive round the clock support without having to leave the comforts of home.
Specific highlights from our findings include:
- 81.8% of patients with cancer are comfortable with their oncology team delivering treatment in their home
- 92.8% of patients with cancer would like to be able to text a member of their on-call oncology team regarding their cancer treatment symptoms
- 91.8% of patients with cancer would like virtual or phone access to an on-call member of their oncology care team to help with symptoms related to cancer treatment
- 77.3% of patients with cancer believe care delivered in their home would offer additional time with family and loved ones
“Home-based symptom management and virtual meetings following treatment has major advantages to follow-up office visits,” shares one patient. Through partnerships with health systems and oncology practices, patients have 24/7 access to Reimagine Care’s experienced oncology nurses and advanced practitioners via SMS text, phone, and video, as well as in-home care when appropriate. Reimagine Care’s Cancer Care at Home program has demonstrated a better overall treatment experience, strong clinical outcomes, and increased satisfaction for both patients and clinicians.
“Every time I come home, I just feel like my recovery accelerates. The more you can be at home, the better for so many people,” another patient shares.
At Reimagine Care, we believe There’s No Care Like Home.
