Wayfinding: Moving from Risk Prediction to Action on Acute Care Events in Oncology - Live

November 12, 2025

Webinar Information

Webinar Description

Drs. Stein and Lafata will discuss their ongoing research project, funded through the CTSA, which seeks to improve the burden of acute care events (hospitalizations and emergency room visits) on individuals receiving cancer treatment. The presenters will describe the development of two prognostic models to determine who is at highest risk for ending up in the ER or hospital, the limitations of prior approaches to this problem, the lessons learned from their research efforts, and the next steps in the field to get from prediction to action.

Learning Objectives

  • Describe the burden of acute care events (ACEs; emergency department visits or hospitalizations) on individuals receiving cancer treatment.
  • Explain the challenges in predicting and preventing ACEs among individuals with cancer.
  • Identify promising strategies to proactively identify and prevent ACEs.
