Engaging with the Enhancing Oncology Model (EOM), the successor to the Oncology Care Model (OCM), is a natural progression for The US Oncology Network (The Network), as we remain dedicated to leading the way in delivering patient-centric redesign activities, enhanced services, and quality outcomes, while striving to achieve sustainable cost of care for oncology.

We are proud to share that 12 practices representing more than 1,000 physicians in The Network are participating in the EOM. This means that over 70% of physicians in The Network are participating in this new model. We are committed to continuing to provide practices in The Network coordinated resources and transformation strategies to enable success in value-based care models.

Though no model is perfect and tackling total cost risk on day one is a real concern, the EOM reinforces the importance of remaining hyper-focused on equal and easier patient access to care and bending the total cost curve for the future of oncology care.

We look forward to continuing to reinforce The Network’s commitment to high-quality patient outcomes and equal access to care at a sustainable cost.

We are pleased to announce that the practices in The Network participating in EOM are:

• Arizona Oncology
• Blue Ridge Cancer Care
• Compass Oncology
• Illinois Cancer Specialists
• Minnesota Oncology
• Regional Cancer Care Associates
• Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers
• Shenandoah Oncology
• Texas Oncology
• Virginia Cancer Specialists

• Willamette Valley Cancer Institute and Research Center
