This session offers practical guidance for cancer center leaders and administrators. Learn what oncology programs should be thinking about when considering community partnerships and affiliations to drive future growth and success.

Changes in the cancer landscape, including a rapidly aging population and increasingly varied and complex cancer treatment options, have contributed to skyrocketing demand for cancer care, and many organizations have found that they lack the infrastructure or capacity to meet all the needs for cancer care in their communities. As the needs increase, even the most comprehensive programs are finding that they can’t be all things to all people in all locations. To combat this, many cancer programs are looking to augment their programs through partnership or affiliation with complementary organizations. While community hospital or physician group partnerships may often appear to be the lower-risk or more convenient route to program growth and/or development, today’s cancer landscape is fraught with examples of programs that were unable to capitalize – clinically and economically – on a seemingly straightforward affiliation opportunity due to inadequate prior planning and an inability to appropriately align organizational values.

Join this webinar, hosted by ECG Management Consultants’ Center for Advanced Oncology practice, to learn more about industry trends and best practices for development of lasting and successful cancer partnerships and affiliations in the community. Gain insights into how other cancer programs have spurred program development and growth through:

1) identification of optimal community partners

2) alignment of values and goals between partner organizations

3) design of mutually beneficial affiliation and funds flow models.
