How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Multi-Stakeholder Convening for Systemic Change
    methodology: multistakeholder_collaboration
    By bringing together payers, providers, regulators, industry leaders, and other key stakeholders in oncology, the organization drives systemic improvements in cancer care because cross-sector collaboration enables shared problem-solving, trust-building, and co-development of scalable solutions that no single entity could achieve alone.
  • Outcomes-Based Contracting to Align Incentives
    methodology: outcome_based_contracting
    By advocating for contracts tied to measurable health outcomes rather than service volume, the organization improves affordability and quality in cancer care because financial incentives are realigned around patient benefit, encouraging innovation and efficiency across providers and pharmaceutical developers.
  • Patient-Led Care Reform
    methodology: patient_led_care_reform
    By placing patients at the center of decision-making in clinical, organizational, and policy settings, the organization produces more responsive and equitable cancer care systems because patient agency leads to higher relevance, dignity, and alignment with lived experience.
  • Value-Based Assessment of Oncology Innovations
    methodology: value_based_assessment
    By applying a value-based framework to evaluate new therapies and practices, the organization ensures that only those with meaningful clinical impact and system-level benefit are adopted, because assessing beyond cost or novelty prevents diffusion of low-value care and strengthens resource allocation.
