EQUICARE CS™ is a case management solution that enables cancer centers to deliver services to a growing survivor base by optimally deploying the clinical resources you already have. EQUICARE CS™ improves the financial implications of a cancer survivorship program in several important ways.

First, a survivorship program operated with EQUICARE CS™ can drive top-line revenue growth. Many routine follow-up procedures may not be performed by the cancer center or its affiliates. For example, a breast cancer survivor may have a follow-up chest X-ray performed at a third-party outpatient imaging center. A managed survivorship program can ensure that follow-up procedures are performed by your institution.

Furthermore, cancer centers with a survivorship program can create a competitive advantage through providing exemplary care to its survivors. As survivor share their experiences with their families, friends, and associates, your institution will attract new patients who may otherwise have go to competing care centers.

Second, with limited oncologist capacity, EQUICARE CS™ allows cancer centers to offload much of the survivorship workload to lower cost staff such as nurse practitioners and nurse navigators, freeing high cost oncologists to focus on active treatments. EQUICARE CS™ accomplishes this by modelling the expertise and best practices of your oncologists, and sharing it with your survivorship program operators.
