RESUMEN
Over 40 patients benefited from remote iconographic follow-up of wounds in an oncology centre. This system is piloted by three expert nurses. They carry out an initial analysis of the photographs received, seek medical expertise if necessary and liaise with the city's professionals. This system makes it possible to expertly accompany professionals and patients while avoiding unnecessary travel. The satisfaction survey conducted in 2018 established full satisfaction of patients and professionals (> 95%) and a guarantee in terms of the safety and quality of care of the wounds.

The emergence of oral cancer treatment in oncology has shifted patient follow-up from the hospital to the home. This trend has resulted in an increase in phone and e-mail interactions initiated by patients, but also by pharmacists, by liberal nurses, by general practitioners, and an increase in calls to the emergency response services (SAMU) both for real or perceived emergencies. This increased volume of patient and pharmacist communication has caused significant disruption in the daily activity of affected oncology departments and in particular of the secretariats. The procedures for formulating and securing appropriate responses within a short time frame are generally not established, and as a result, there is a risk that decisions made could be inappropriate for the patient's situation, especially in the case of complications.. Tracking responses to phone calls is necessary and answers should be noted in the medical file, including side effects, in particular the serious AEs for a good quality of care. This guideline describes best practices for oncologists who manage "incoming" calls from patients or professionals involved in the care pathway.

New routes of administration available for some targeted therapies, especially subcutaneous injections, have an impact not only on the patients' daycare experience, but also on the unit's organization. This observational study conducted on 48 voluntary patients at the Institut universitaire du cancer Toulouse-Oncopole shows that the mean duration of the outpatient unit stay is diminished by one hour when a subcutaneous injection is used instead of an intravenous route. This duration decrease is mainly caused by an 82% average reduction in treatment duration. However, the waiting times before and after the treatment itself are not significantly impacted. Organizational methods related to the treatment prescription and preparation remain indeed the same. Anticipated prescription is not noticeably impacted either. This reduction of the duration of stay will truly be obtained if the whole unit's organization is adapted.

The organisation of unscheduled hospitalisations is a constant concern for hospitals, in particular in the absence of an emergency department. The bed manager's role is essential in this context. The medical oncology ward of a cancer unit has put in place such a system in order to optimise bed management and improve the quality of care.

An innovative scheme has been operational since 2013 at the Institut Claudius Regaud in Toulouse, aimed at patients undergoing chemotherapy. After an initial consultation, patients receive regular telephone support at home from expert nurses between treatments. The scheme helps to improve patient management and reinforce the community-hospital link.

Constructing an innovative care project in oncology, common to two healthcare institutions with different statuses, was a challenge for the directors of nursing of the Claudius-Regaud Institute and Toulouse university hospital. The patient care pathway was a major organisational element of the project, keyto ensuring high quality patient care, from the diagnosis through to the personalised post-cancer plan.

The application of the new nursing training reference framework requires the active participation of professionals in the field, notably with assessing students' skills during a work placement. The skills approach represents a paradigm shift for caregivers, one which requires reflection with regard to their activities, and the creation of tools suitable for constructive assessment. A task force within the Toulouse cancer unit has been created to reflect on and support the changes brought about by the reform.
