We are really excited about using this technology to move away from manual, paper-based processes to a digital system that is integrated into our workflow and allows us to deliver better care.
Seattle, WA (PRWEB) August 22, 2017
Navigating Cancer and Northwest Oncology & Hematology (NWOH) are excited to announce their new partnership to implement Navigating Cancer’s technology platform.
NWOH is one of Illinois’ most respected and experienced cancer centers and has been serving patients with malignant diseases and blood disorders since 1978. Their physicians, nurses and staff are dedicated to providing coordinated, individualized care to patients. The practice also recently became one of the first pilot sites in the country to earn NCQA Oncology Medical Home Recognition and is participating in the Oncology Care Model. Positioned at the forefront of value-based cancer care, they recognized the need for a technology platform to maximize efficiency, improve performance and give patients an even better experience.
In addition to giving patients access to online tools like personalized education, registration and distress and depression screening, Navigating Cancer’s oncology-specific patient relationship management platform will allow NWOH’s care teams to triage patients in a more proactive and consistent way using the integrated standardized symptom pathways. “We are really excited about using this technology to move away from manual, paper-based processes to a digital system that is integrated into our workflow and allows us to deliver better care,” said Nina Arndt, NWOH’s Executive Director.
“Northwest Oncology is the kind of practice we really love to work with,” said Gena Cook, CEO of Navigating Cancer. “They are already delivering really high quality care and they recognize an opportunity to implement our solution to do even more for their patients.”
