Real World Lessons from UKY Markey and Wellstar Kennestone

Multidisciplinary cancer care is an effective approach to improving communication, coordination, and continuity of care among the different professionals involved in the cancer care process. This collaboration allows for a more accurate diagnosis and helps practitioners offer the best and most appropriate treatment.
While quality and outcomes measures have been the focus of multidisciplinary cancer care research, there has been limited data on the impact that multidisciplinary cancer care can have on quality measures at the patient level.
Examining data from more than 46,000 patient cases and 9,000 cancer care providers, we identified the key performance indicators and quality opportunities generated by a multidisciplinary approach to cancer care.
During this session, Chase Adams, MBA, MHA, Executive Director, Oncology & Radiation Services for Wellstar Kennestone Regional Medical Center, Timothy Mullett, MD, MBA, FACS, Medical Director for the UKY Markey Cancer Center Affiliate and Research Networks and Chair, American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer, and Anju Mathew, MBA, Chief Executive Officer for OncoLens discuss:
  • The multidisciplinary cancer care key performance indicators that are associated with quality and outcome opportunities
  • Critical considerations for multidisciplinary team optimization including communication, documentation, and reporting
  • Lessons learned in multidisciplinary team adoption and engagement
  • The care quality and cost traps that can impact outcomes if not addressed
  • A maturity model to help baseline current operations and develop a path to optimization of a multidisciplinary approach
