Based on the patient feedback you received, if you think a "My Radiotherapy Plan" spin off would be welcomed, I'd love to leverage existing web platforms, and collaborate with your team and mine (my team is pretty awesome, but you know this already ;)!

We are working with patients and partners @UHN to develop content for a #Covid_19 specific PODS - coming soon. Key considerations are to continue to involve patients and families as essential partners in care when reviewing instructions on how to manage at home

Communication gaps are heightened during COVID. Our free co-designed Patient-oriented Discharge Summary (PODS) can help ensure patients and families have usable, meaningful and written instructions to refer to. Look it up @PODS_OpenLab @UHNOpenLab
