BACKGROUND
Psychooncological interventions are an integral component of the treatment of breast cancer patients in certified breast cancer centers. Effective multidisciplinary care requires excellent communication among the team members, including written communication. The study explores how written communication can be implemented in a multidisciplinary team treating cancer patients.
PATIENTS AND METHODS
A computerized form to enter psychooncological findings into a software designed for the documentation of the diagnostics and therapy of patients with breast cancer was developed.
RESULTS
The psychooncological module includes the sections and as well as about a psychological diagnosis (International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10) where appropriate. 555 psychooncological findings were documented in the newly designed module. 28% of the patients were diagnosed with a mental disorder. 45% received at least one intervention.
CONCLUSIONS
The psychooncological module facilitates the combination of oncological and psychooncological documentation. It can give structured psychooncological information to the physicians. However, the development of the module has to be continued.
