Data Element

Complications
Description

The data element specifically documents complications that result from different modalities of therapy. There is currently no way of collecting this information and thus we miss the opportunity for quality improvement and true informed consent. High level complications should be recorded and ascribed to the modality (ies) of therapy.

Comment

Complications

I agree with UCSF's submission of this data element as knowledge complications informs both providers and patients alike on how to procede with treatment.
