Oncologists, and their teams, are responsible for the care and support of the patients they serve. This is an art of balancing the latest scientific developments with regulatory or payer restrictions, with restraints on resources and with the specific needs and goals of each patient. This can often be challenging since all incentives are not always aligned with the needs of the mission for these teams. The Oncology Medical Home provides a map and structure to provide the highest quality care while also addressing some of the above obstacles.

Enrollment in the OMH provides tools, resources, guidance, and support for the continuous transformation of the cancer care delivery system. As you will see, the first goal of the OMH is patient engagement – timely, comprehensive, and important communications with patient and their family. Those standards are supported by standards and guidelines for other aspects of the patient journey.

Participation in the OMH also provides a recognized foundation for more active participation in value-based initiatives with insurance companies and employers.

This participation has additional benefits:

1. 1. Participation in a FREE patient feedback survey that is designed specifically for cancer patients. The survey is available as paper or electronic and in five different languages. Benchmarking in real-time and with enough detail to further quality improvement efforts. Learn more here.
   2. Efficient processes to submit measures that reflect the positive results of following OMH standards. These measures are also used for benchmarking against your peers and can be used in any payment reform model. To learn more, visit the Benchmarking section of the website.
