As ICI-related symptoms may add to the symptom burden of patients, effective management of these symptoms requires a holistic approach. To reflect upon and address the complexity and resources required for symptom management, we grounded the development of this intervention in the eHealth Enhanced Chronic Care Model (eCCM) [The major components of the CCM, community resources and health systems, are complemented by eCommunity and eHealth in the eCCM [The major components of the eCCM encapsulate five smaller interdependent components: self-management support (SMS), clinical decision support (CDS), delivery system design (DSD), clinical information systems (CIS), and eHealth education (eHE). These are brought together to ensure informed and activated patients interact with prepared and proactive practice teams, leading to satisfying encounters and improved outcomes [The eHealth Enhanced Chronic Care Model (eCCM), adapted from: Gee PM, Greenwood DA, Paterniti DA, Ward D, Miller LMS.
