Cancer Care Specialists of Illinois Partners with Canopy to Optimize Continuous Care ManagementNEW YORK, Feb. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cancer Care Specialists of Illinois (CCSI), a 22-site community oncology practice and member of the National Cancer Care Alliance (NCCA), today announced a partnership with Canopy, the first Intelligent Care Platform for oncology. Through this collaboration, CCSI aims to optimize its Principal Care Management (PCM) program and streamline continuous care management to further enhance patient outcomes. "Canopy helps us deliver, manage, and capture reimbursement for high-quality care that happens between visits." CCSI is implementing Canopy's comprehensive, EHR-integrated platform to streamline manual triage and care management processes. Additionally, CCSI will equip patients with Canopy's clinically validated ePRO tools for proactive care management between visits to the clinic. "Cancer Care Specialists of Illinois is committed to providing every patient with personalized, comprehensive care using state-of-the-art equipment and treatment methods," said Rhonda Luther, Chief Operating Officer of Cancer Care Specialists of Illinois. "Canopy is our newest technology partner to help us deliver, manage, and capture reimbursement for high-quality care that happens between office visits, allowing us to better tailor each patient's experience for the best possible outcomes." The Canopy Platform features ePRO-based remote monitoring for patients to report issues between office visits, as ell as intelligent task management and decision support capabilities for care teams. Nurses can efficiently manage reports in a single Work Queue that intelligently prioritizes issues based on clinical urgency and enables seamless collaboration and task management across departments, all while auto-documenting key information to the EHR. Real-world studies of Canopy's ePRO and remote triage system show high patient engagement—88% at six months [JCO, 2022]—as well as demonstrated clinical outcomes, including an observed 22% lower rate of ER visits/hospitalizations [ASCO, 2022] and up to a 45% observed increase in treatment persistence at 3 months [ASCO, 2022]. CCSI is also partnering with Canopy to scale its Principal Care Management (CCM/PCM) program to support continuous care efforts and other quality care initiatives. Canopy's Program Management module intelligently prioritizes eligible patients for program enrollment while streamlining consent processes and end-to-end care workflows for staff, including automated care time capture and billing. Canopy recently announced new partnerships with New York Cancer & Blood Specialists, Northwest Hematology & Oncology, and Pontchartrain Cancer Center, rapidly growing its network of leading oncology practices.
