There was a lot of discussion about the increasing costs of cancer care at The American Journal of Managed Care’s Patient-Centered Oncology Care meeting in November, and Bruce Feinberg, DO, vice president and chief medical officer of oncology at Cardinal Health Specialty Solutions, discussed pathways as a solution that has been widely adopted to reduce costs.
“There’s lots of permutations, but the general concept of consensus-driven, evidence-based aligned incentives around a pathway is really a major driver of change in the market,” he said.
