"AJMC is proud to host our prestigious conference in Music City this fall," said Michael J. Hennessy Jr., president of MJH Life Sciences, parent company of AJMC. "At PCOC, attendees will be able to network with industry leaders and gain vital insight into the rapidly changing oncology care landscape."
During this two-day, patient-centered conference, featured speakers will engage in panel discussions on policy, precision health, chronic care management, biosimilars and the ways in which technology and telehealth are affecting care and value-based medicine. Attendees will have the opportunity to network with peers and engage with leaders from payer, community, academic and patient advocacy groups on critical issues in oncology value-based care.
"The Patient-Centered Oncology Care conference is a focus factory for disruptive ideas for how to create an innovative, sustainable, and patient-focused future for cancer care in this country. Key cancer stakeholders assemble in this forum to navigate the complexities of changing the ideal of value-based care into a practical reality," said Dr. Alvarnas.
Dr. Patel added, "We look forward defining value to promote quality and improve patient experience in cancer care at the PCOC conference."
