Traditional hospital-physician alignment models, such as professional services agreements (PSAs), clinical co-management, and employment, have centered around financial incentives.

This model enables physicians to maintain their independence while securing their engagement in key cancer program initiatives and offers compelling benefits for a wide range of cancer specialists.
