Overview
Oncology Solutions was engaged by a health system to help develop a vision and a network delivery model for its cancer programs spread across 25 hospitals in three states. When Oncology Solutions began the project, the health system had limited institutional organization, fractured services, and faced formidable competition from several nearby academic institutions. Nearly all hospitals in the network experienced significant outmigration of cancer cases that could have been treated locally. These dynamics led to the beginnings of a visioning and strategic planning process to assess the market, evaluate resources and capabilities of the hospitals’ cancer programs, and frame a blueprint for bringing all the pieces together.
