About the Webconference

Accountable payment models seek to catalyze the development of new approaches to care delivery that produce improved outcomes at a lower cost. The challenge of meeting these imperatives is especially daunting for cancer providers, given rising patient volumes and the ever-increasing complexity of cancer treatment.

This webconference explores strategies for redesigning cancer program workflows in the infusion center, radiation therapy, and clinic settings in order to deliver more efficient and patient centered care.
