How Outpatient Oncology Care Works – Podcast with Eva Klein
More and more cancer treatments are taking place on an outpatient basis. How is this changing oncology care? What new challenges does it present? Eva Klein, deputy ward manager and director of nursing at the NCT Heidelberg, answers these questions in the latest episode of the “PflegeKraft HD” podcast from Heidelberg University Hospital (UKHD).
In the interview, Eva Klein provides insights into the work of an oncology day clinic. It becomes clear that outpatient care does not mean less nursing care, but rather places new demands on counseling, support, and professional expertise. She explains how nursing staff help patients safely continue their therapy outside the clinic. She also discusses innovative therapies, the management of side effects, and how research and new treatment options are continuously advancing oncology care.
