Hospitals & Health Systems
The Mainstay of Community Cancer Care
Health reform. Competing programmatic budgetary priorities. Securing the physician referral base. Reimbursement challenges. Talk to any hospital or health system C-Suite and these are the issues on their minds. In the world of cancer care, community hospitals and health systems provide the large majority of all services—up to 90%. Plus the pressure to continually manage a patient population expected to increase from 1.6 to 2.3 million nationally by 2030 is leading many in the C-Suite to ask: What is our long-range strategic vision and business plan for oncology? What are the essential elements we need to succeed? How long and what resources will it take to achieve this level of success? Enter Oncology Solutions.
community continue to be the mainstay providers and leaders shaping the delivery of services ranging from
education, prevention and early detection through treatment and survivorship. Many of these providers have been
stalled by the recent health reform movement and are unsure what direction their cancer program should take to
prepare for the future. There are no easy answers to this difficult question but Oncology Solutions offers guidance
unparalleled in the industry to resolve these issues for our clients and provide a clear and concise plan of action.
Among our range of services, hospitals and health systems will be assisted to:
- create anew or re-calibrate an existing strategic vision for oncology;
- determine and negotiate the most appropriate, mutually beneficial relationship with its oncology physicians;
- develop disease-specific multidisciplinary programs focused towards optimal patient experience and clinical performance;
- assess and define cancer facility and technology needs and capital plan for implementation; and,
- identify and reconcile operational challenges that result in greater service and cost efficiencies and optimize revenue cycle.
There is little doubt that future population and cancer incidence growth will place substantial demand on the country’s hospitals and health systems. The effects of these demands will in turn require innovative and timely implementation of a range of services, facility expansion, technology procurement, physician recruitment and integration and, most importantly, meeting continuing patient need growth as more cancer survivors enter the system.
