Malvern, PA (PRWEB) July 19, 2016 -- Journal of Clinical Pathways, a leading peer-reviewed publication from HMP Communications Holdings, LLC, today announced that Richard L. Schilsky, MD, FACP, FASCO, Chief Medical Officer, American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), will serve as keynote speaker for its inaugural Clinical Pathways Congress, taking place September 16-18 in Boston, MA.

In his role at ASCO, Dr. Schilsky is involved in professional and patient education, quality improvement, policy and advocacy, communications, clinical research, and development of CancerLinQ, ASCO’s rapid learning system for oncology. His presentation, “Precision Medicine: An Essential Component of Oncology Clinical Pathways,” will address how precision medicine strategies can be integrated into clinical pathways to support high-value cancer care.

“We are privileged to have Dr. Schilsky as the keynote speaker for our first meeting,” said Robin T. Zon, MD, FACP, FASCO, steering committee member, and chair of ASCO’s Clinical Pathways task force. “Dr. Schilsky will delve into one of the “hot button” questions within the oncology community today – how can precision medicine strategies – those based on the fundamental idea of a patient receiving a treatment tailored to his or her unique tumor biology, clinical circumstances, and goals – be incorporated with tools such as clinical pathways that seek to minimize variations in care? With his expertise as a guide, the oncology care community will come together to address the inherent tension that exists between these two concepts and work together to find solutions that move care forward.”

With more than $157 billion spent on cancer treatment in the U.S. annually, oncology care is under increasing scrutiny in order to reduce costs, improve consistency, and drive efficiency. Value-based management tools such as clinical pathways have become an important component of the shift towards more outcome-driven models for care, but they raise questions among providers, payers, and other stakeholders about their impact on health outcomes and patient care.

The Congress will bring together payers, providers, cancer center directors, administrators, HEOR specialists, pathways developers, and health IT and informatics managers, to discuss clinical pathways, cost-effective therapies, and questions regarding pathways and their design, implementation, and impact. The meeting aspires to help the cancer care community develop strategies to ensure clinical pathways align with provider, payer, and patient needs.

Other sessions as part of the program include:

  • Review of and Exchange on the ASCO Policy Statement on Clinical Pathways
  • Clinical Pathways: A Point-Counterpoint from the Provider and Payer Perspective
  • Can Physician Behavior Change? The Case for Provider-Driven Pathways
  • What Constitutes Fair Pricing of Oncology Medications?
  • Patient Impact on the Implementation & Effectiveness of Clinical Pathways
