The University of Chicago Medicine has launched a national cancer network, and has selected AdventHealth Cancer Institute Shawnee Mission in Merriam, Kan., as its first affiliate.
The UChicago Medicine Cancer Network will allow national affiliates to remain independent while aligning with UChicago Medicine’s clinical care, medical education and biomedical research standards, according to an Aug. 20 news release from UChicago Medicine.
Patients receiving care at a network affiliate will have access to UChicago Medicine-sponsored clinical trials and select industry trials, as well as expert second opinions and advanced treatments, the release said.
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.
