Activity opens: 05/21/2021
Activity expires: 05/27/2024
Target Audience:
This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of case managers, nurses, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, PAs, physicians and other health care professionals (HCPs) who are interested in cancer care.
Description:
Oncology clinical pathways are defined by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) as detailed, evidence-based treatment protocols for specific disease types and stages that deliver high-quality cancer care. With the rapid approval of new anticancer therapies, along with the rising cost of cancer care, pathways serve a critical role in the delivery of high-quality and high-value cancer treatments while reducing unwarranted variation in care. This activity will discuss best practices in cancer care, provide an overview of the current status of pathways in oncology and explore their role in helping practices to deliver value-based care.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this educational activity, participants should be able to:
• Examine the role of evidence-based, patient-centric clinical pathways in oncology.
• State the current status, benefits and impact of pathways in the delivery of high-quality cancer care.
• Explore the future applications, including potential challenges, of oncology clinical pathways.
• Implement clinical pathways to optimize the quality of care, cost-efficiency and health outcomes in oncology.
