KEY TAKEAWAYS

What’s next after OCM?

The end of the Oncology Care Model (OCM) is fast approaching, but there remains uncertainty about what comes next. Panelists speculated that the successor model will address the high cost of cancer drugs and will likely be mandatory.

Social determinants of health are crucial to improving outcomes

Improvements in cancer treatment are not benefitting all patients equally and understanding social determinants of health is crucial to improving outcomes, said Karen Winkfield, MD, PhD, of Meharry-Vanderbilt Alliance, during the opening session.

Targeted interventions may predict health behaviors

Targeting interventions to patients will mean understanding patients beyond just their health. Robert Groves, MD, of Banner | Aetna, explained that data sets can help predict health behaviors of populations..

Telemedicine is here to stay

Telemedicine use increased during the pandemic out of necessity, and it isn’t going away. The COVID-19 pandemic created a surge in the use of technology and telemedicine that will allow providers to deliver better care.

Oncology care navigation: A game changer

The patient journey in cancer treatment is never easy, but the rise of care navigation has been a game changer for patient satisfaction and better outcomes. However, despite the benefits, reimbursement can be elusive.
