Title: Ototoxic Monitoring
Abstract: Chemotherapy agents such as carboplatin and cisplatin are commonly prescribed for cancer treatment. Aminoglycoside antibiotics are common to treat serious infections. Both medical treatments can cause ototoxicity and vestibulotoxicity. Although audiology associations recommend ototoxicity monitoring, there are no standard practices to alert audiology to patients who would benefit from management. This presentation will provide information regarding how this clinic used a process improvement Lean Yellow Belt project to develop a program that can alert providers to ototoxicity.
Learner Outcomes: Upon completion of this session, participants will be able to:
• Describe how increasing access to audiological services to the patient groups targeted for intervention due to certain medical treatments, can alert providers to ototoxicity.
• Identify which medical treatments can cause ototoxicity and vestibulotoxicity.
• Describe how to characterize patients based on the preferred ototoxic monitoring intervention intensity.
