“…Unwritten practices may also influence nurse decision-making. Examples include calling rapid response teams, patient care planning, and exchange of information in the patient care environment (Braaten, 2015;Cappelletti et al, 2014;Gray & Meyer, 2014). Unwritten practices that only the nurses' familiar with the culture of the unit understand make decision-making for new or floating nurses more challenging.…”

, RN, CHPN, committee member. Your knowledge of informatics was essential to my progress as a nursing scientist. I also greatly appreciate your consistently open attitude to all questions over the years. Thank you also to the scholarship finding from the June and Walter Reis Endowed Scholarship and the Lange Award for the support of this research. To my husband, Kevin Nibbelink, thank you is not enough for the constant support and encouragement you have provided as I have worked toward my goal of completing this degree. To my children Luke, Megan, Ethan, you also have been wonderful throughout this process. I am so proud of each of you. 5

Introduction Recent worldwide advances in cancer therapies have resulted in an increased number of people receiving chemotherapy in ambulatory care settings. In Spain, emergency departments are the single point of entry to acute inpatient services and they play a pivotal role in the management of chemotherapy complications. Little research exists in patterns of emergency department utilisation by oncology patients with chemotherapy‐related complications. However, it is important for the oncology patients and the healthcare system to gain understanding in the disease pathway and the organisational factors influencing the quality of care. Methods This critical review's main aims were to describe the clinical characteristics of patients who presented to an emergency department after chemotherapy treatment as reported in international literature; to map reported patterns of care in emergency department access; and quality of care exploring the management of febrile neutropenic patients described in the literature, against best practice guidelines. Results The search strategy yield 701 articles from MEDLINE, TROVE and SCOPUS and 26 were included. The review combines systematic reviews, observational, cross‐sectional case–control studies and randomised control trials. Conclusion All articles showed areas and opportunities for improvement in the management of this population, especially with regard to time from triage to antibiotic administration in febrile neutropenic patients.

“…Regular communication between cancer patient/survivor and their healthcare support network is essential. Communication between caregivers, family, and healthcare professionals, and among numerous levels of the medical team (i.e., oncology, primary care, emergency), is equally important [18]. Dissemination of accurate and current health information (e.g., disease status, prognosis, treatment, medications) is particularly vital to quality care.…”

Exercise is complementary to cancer prevention, care, and survivorship. Exercise is considered safe and effective during and after cancer treatment when conducted under supervision and in controlled environments. Less is known about the safety and effectiveness of unsupervised, home-based exercise programs. Implementing methods of monitoring and reporting can provide more information and potentially enhance exercise effects and program integrity. This paper describes the development of REMEDY, a remote monitoring sensor system consisting of a wireless body-area network (WBAN), cloud database, mobile assisted application, and a set of intelligent algorithms. REMEDY can provide real-time exercise monitoring, participant feedback, and quality assessment that may lead to safer and more effective exercise programs and exercises for cancer patients and survivors.
