BACKGROUND Patients prescribed oral chemotherapy (OC) may find adherence and management of side effects difficult. Leveraging technology available to patients, such as smartphones, laptops, or at-home computer devices, may help close the loop on crucial information needed for the safe administration of these toxic medications. OBJECTIVES The primary aim of this review was to explore the feasibility of standardization of an electronic OC adherence questionnaire to gather patient-reported outcomes. The secondary aim was to determine whether patient-reported outcome measures improve providers' response times to patient-reported concerns. METHODS A comprehensive literature review was performed in CINAHL®, Scopus®, Open Access Journal Finder, and SocINDEX. Ten articles, from which four themes were synthesized and discussed, were selected for this review. FINDINGS Leveraging eHealth using an OC adherence questionnaire to monitor medication adherence, laboratory testing schedule adherence, and self-management of symptoms and disease, as well as providers' timely response to potential issues, may improve overall health outcomes.
