"As a leader in regional cancer care, we are excited to provide our patients with a single platform where NORCC clinical staff can better manage the complex care involved with treating patients with cancer," said Jon Prescott, MD, Medical Director of Northern Ohio Regional Cancer Care. "The first of its kind in Northern Ohio, this solution will allow our clinical staff to standardize care pathways to quickly identify and manage at-risk patients, empower our care team to implement and track care plans, engage patients in care management and provide improved communication with patients and their families."
"With Appian360's Algorithm Generator™, oncology care teams can now create standardized diagnostic and other pathways informed by current standards and evidence-based knowledge," noted Robert Bridwell, MD, MBA, Appian360's Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer. "Early, accurate and comprehensive diagnosis is the bedrock of effective care for people with cancer. Essentially, the combination of clinical algorithms and care coordination can promote better outcomes for both patients and providers."
