Supportive care is a “whole person approach” to cancer care in which patients receive “physical, emotional, spiritual, community, decision-making, social and economic support.” The consortium aims to increase access to this type of care for all cancer patients, according to a Sept. 30 news release from the group.
The health systems and cancer centers joining the consortium are Duarte, Calif.-based City of Hope, Danville, Pa.-based Geisinger, Salt Lake City-based Huntsman Cancer Institute, Oakland, Calif.-based Kaiser Permanente, Houston-based University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and Renton, Wash.-based Providence.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
