Telehealth in geriatric oncology: A novel approach to deliver multidisciplinary care for older adults with cancer

Colleagues and team members of Arti Hurria, MD will remember that despite her lengthy list of achievements, she was always thinking to the future. Shortly before she passed, Dr. Hurria compiled a "Top 10 Dream List" of items she most wanted to accomplish moving forward. Among the wishes on her list was the development of telehealth-delivered, multidisciplinary, customized care programs for older adults with cancer, especially for those who would otherwise not have access to it. At the time of her passing, Dr. Hurria was in the process of evaluating telehealth interventions within geriatric oncology.
