The Study of High Cost Oncology Patients to Improve Care and Curb Costs

Discover how Cone Health Cancer Center analyzed Medicare data to locate their “hot-spotters”—chronically ill, high-cost, super-users of healthcare services—assess gaps in care and opportunities to improve, while curbing costs. See how their data justified the creation of new programs to reduce ER utilization, improve cross-silo multidisciplinary care, manage acutely ill patients, integrate end-of-life services, and fill gaps in their oncology service line in novel, cost-cutting ways.
