WASHINGTON, DC USA (UroToday.com) - Dr. Andrew Vickers addressed patient reported outcomes via the web for assessing their progress after radical prostatectomy. He shared a web-based questionnaire for collecting outcomes responses following therapy. The software has been developed and is being introduced into the clinic. The web program is interactive, providing the patient with feedback and data on where they stand in the course of their recovery. It can give advice prompts based on their responses - such as to discuss ED treatment options with your urologist.
Presented by Andrew Vickers, MD, PhD at the Society for Basic Urologic Research (SBUR)/Society of Urologic Oncology (SUO) joint meeting during the American Urological Association (AUA) Annual Meeting - May 14 - 19, 2011 - Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Washington, DC USA
