Humana has launched a cancer care model aimed at easing the prior authorization process for oncology providers.
The model was developed in partnership with the American Oncology Network and specialty care management company Evolent, according to a Nov. 10 news release from Humana.
The American Oncology Network — which spans more than 350 providers across 21 states — has rolled out Humana’s model at its clinics in eight states. Under the model, practices that meet quality and evidence-based treatment standards can bypass the traditional prior authorization process for most anticancer drugs.
Participating practices also have access to an analytics platform that draws on real-time EHR data to inform individualized treatment plans, the release said.
At the Becker's Perioperative Summit, taking place September 14–15 in Chicago, perioperative leaders and healthcare executives will focus on improving operating room efficiency, enhancing patient safety, optimizing staffing and driving innovation across surgical services.
