Denver (3-30-17)—The oncology landscape is rapidly evolving. A Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America report noted that 836 oncology drugs and vaccines are in the pipeline, 123 of which are for lung cancer, and 80% of pipeline agents are potential first-in-class therapies. Because of this, existing treatment paradigms are regularly upset. In addition, oncology costs continue to grow, with a reported $105 billion spent globally in 2015 and projected to rise 7.5% to 11.5% annually through 2020. In response, payers are using clinical pathways, preferred product and exclusion lists, and value assessment framework tools for better management of costs and care. Value-based risk sharing models among payers, providers and pharmaceutical manufacturers are also evolving.
As healthcare spending continues to rise, payers and providers struggle to accurately measure value to patients, and with health systems all over the world shifting towards paying for value, not just volume, these efforts have never been more important.
