From the October 2021 issue of HealthCare Business News magazine
The meeting theme — "Embracing Change, Advancing Person-centered Care" — is about bringing meaningful change that will benefit our patients. What innovations are most likely to improve outcomes? How can we improve on what matters to patients, and how can we improve our experience as caregivers? This year, we are fortunate to have patients be part of the faculty, to share their voices.
We have many exciting sessions planned for the meeting. The Presidential Symposium, "Advancing Person-Centered Care Through Innovation," will feature sessions on scientific innovations, digital health, and future possible applications of radiation therapy, as well as a debate on the merits of randomized clinical trials versus real-world data. We have three dynamic keynote speakers to address current issues such as physician burnout and artificial intelligence, and Cancer Breakthrough sessions to spotlight top research from other cancer meetings over the past year. New this year, we have a session on the Science of Hope, and we also have a track specifically for science and education focused on DEI in radiation oncology.
We encourage people to follow the meeting on social media using the hashtag #ASTRO21.
