Integrating ePROMs within the OIS can significantly reduce workload and personnel resources. However, this efficiency may compromise patient responses in certain groups. A balance must be achieved between workload, resource allocation, and the sensitivity needed to detect clinically significant effects. This may necessitate customized automation levels tailored to specific cancer groups, highlighting a fundamental trade-off between operational efficiency and data quality.
