    In 2021, the California State Assembly unanimously passed the Cancer Patients Bill—the first of its kind in the nation—which calls for six rights that every cancer patient in California should have. Access and equity are key components across these six rights, and this session will focus on grounded approaches to moving access and equity forward in meaningful ways.

    Providing healthcare for cancer is different than for any other disease. Cancer is now recognized not as one condition, but as multiple conditions. With genomic sequencing technology, cancer may soon be viewed as potentially hundreds of conditions. In 2021, the California State Assembly unanimously passed the Cancer Patients Bill—the first of its kind in the nation—which calls for six rights that every cancer patient in California should have. Access and equity are key components across these six rights, and this session will focus on grounded approaches to moving access and equity forward in meaningful ways. Creative solutioning includes establishing community-academic collaborations that are easily scaled and that ensure patients receive treatment in the communities where they live and developing care-focused strategies in partnership with employers. Hear patient stories, join the discussion, and return with ideas on how your cancer program or practice can work with your state legislators to improve the care of patients with cancer in your community.

    Harlan Levine, MD, President, Strategy and Business Ventures, City of Hope National Medical Center

    Cancer care is a complex—and often controversial—topic, with multiple stakeholders that view “value” through many different lenses. Hear what value in cancer care means to patients and their caregivers and how this meaning is usually different for payers and employers. Then consider how we define value in oncology reflects on us as a society. Strategize how these different perspectives fit together to yield a value equation that considers outcomes, patient experience, cost, and time…and yet it is not enough. Each stakeholder brings their own perspective to the relative value of these variables, resulting in solutions that address some issues while creating new ones. Hear about the role you can play in defining oncology value going forward, and in so doing, help drive to a better—and more equitable—cancer care delivery system.

    Melynda Ozan, Consumer Health Librarian, Atrium Health, Levine Cancer Institute

    Levine Cancer Institute successfully developed tools and methods to encourage shared decision-making across its network of more than 25 regional sites. Learn how this cancer institute built a standardized treatment platform (Electronically Accessible Pathways, or EAPathways), so all clinicians are using the same evidence-based guidelines, treatment updates, and clinical trials. This ensures that patients across more than 25 clinic locations receive the most consistent, high-quality care possible. Then, in 2017, Levine Cancer Institute hired a consumer health librarian to create a digital library of patient education handouts, including links to approved cancer information websites, which are available to all clinicians and staff through a Microsoft SharePoint site. This health librarian reviews all patient-facing information—including marketing brochures, new visitor policies, and patient education—to ensure materials are written at an appropriate reading level. The health librarian also sits on the Patient and Family Advisory Council, which is often involved in the development of patient resources and chairs the Oncology Patient Education Committee. To further improve shared decision making, Levine Cancer Institute uses a care alignment tool (CAT) to document clinician-patient discussions about goals of care in the patient’s chart for use in advanced care planning. The CAT includes questions that help identify patients' fears or concerns for the future, important goals, and preferences related to using sustaining measures at the end of life.

    This inpatient oncology unit used Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care scores to quantify mobility and then develop team-based, multidisciplinary plans of care in collaboration with physical therapy, nursing, and a mobility aide—a medical assistant with rehabilitation training. Patients were mobilized twice per day, seven days per week. Staff evaluated the effects of the mobility aide program on quality of care and healthcare utilization and observed significant improvement in both. Outcomes across nearly 1,000 patients include: a 6% reduction in excess days; a reduction of readmission rates from 25% to 19%; three-quarters of patients (76%) maintained or improved their mobility score; and improved patient satisfaction—patient willingness to recommend the hospital increased from 63% to 91%.
