[Patient's Autonomy and Information in Psycho-Oncology: Computer Based Distress Screening for an Interactive Treatment Planning (ePOS-react)].

Discussion A direct response of the screening result (treatment recommendation) during the computer based screening and asking for a patient's choice leads to an increase of brief psycho-oncological contacts for personal information about psycho-oncological interventions. Compared with a third-party assessment (clinical interview) there is no improvement of the accuracy of the indications. But it improves the transparency for the access to psycho-oncological interventions which may strengthen patient's autonomy and adherence.
