“[In terms of AI], ACCC starting is with the here and now. So, what's available today that has been proven to save time or reduce burnout or be an effective tool for better patient care, for better access. Those solutions are what we’re focused on this year and into 2025 so that we can help our members cut through the noise in this space.”
“[Prior authorization] is a very big issue because it takes so much time, and it creates this additional burden for our cancer care team members. And if you look at the impact on patient care, that's really where the conversation needs to be focused because there is a significant and detrimental impact on patient care.”
Participate in sessions and discussions that will inform the 2025 Trending Now in Cance Care Delivery report by attending the ACCC 51st Annual Meeting & Cancer Center Business Summit, March 5-7 in Washington, DC.
