Today-
We are on site in Washington, DC, at the Association of Community Cancer Centers’ Annual Meeting and Cancer Center Business Summit!
We will be recapping some of the top news presented each day during the meeting—and soon we’ll speak with Tom Gallo, the outgoing president of ACCC on trends in oncology care and preparing for the future, and Nicole Braccio, PharmD, of the National Patient Advocate Foundation on shared decision making and other conversations with patients.
Welcome to AJMC® On Location! I’m Jaime Rosenberg.
The meeting kicked off with a look into the future, with sessions that analyzed how physicians, nurses and administrators will adapt over the next 10 years as cancer practices grapple with business, quality, and technology trends. There was also a session on federal policy shifts that impact care delivery, reimbursement, and patient access to care, as well as the government’s role in changing the healthcare landscape.

That’s all for today. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s AJMC® On Location, where we will sit down with James Hamrick, MD, of Flatiron Health to discuss technology in care delivery, and Ali McBride, PharmD, to discuss biosimilars and more.
