The Enhancing Oncology Model allows pooling of groups of practices for quality measurement, which was not permitted under the OCM.
Moderator Stuart Staggs, MSIE, senior director, strategic programs, The US Oncology Network, and our panelists discuss a provision of the Enhancing Oncology Model (EOM) which would allow pooling of smaller practices into a larger group for quality measurement purposes.

Panelists Stephen Schleicher, MD, MBA, chief medical officer, Tennessee Oncology, Kashyap Patel, MD, CEO, Carolina Blood and Cancer Care Associates and Community Oncology Alliance president, and Fred Divers, MD, chief medical officer, American Oncology Network and medical oncologist, Genesis Cancer and Blood Institute of Arkansas, discuss the concept.
