After five years of intense product development in collaboration with leading internationally-recognized oncology supportive care experts, Carevive is pleased to announce Carevive STAIRS™ is commercially available for our cancer center partners. This product was made possible because of a generous multi-million dollar contract provided to Carevive by the NIH’s National Cancer Institute.
Introducing Carevive STAIRS™
Carevive STAIRS™
Symptom Triage, Assessment, Intervention, and Response System
Computerized Cancer Symptom Management Pathways
Carevive STAIRS™ are the first-ever computerized cancer symptom management pathways, which when combined with Carevive PROmpt®, enables cancer care teams to proactively identify and resolve cancer symptoms before they become problematic, often leading to treatment holds, treatment discontinuations, or hospitalizations, all of which negatively impact treatment outcomes.
