FREMONT, CA: Cardinal Health Specialty Solutions has introduced Cardinal Health Navista Tech Solutions (TS), an advanced suite of technology solutions to empower community oncologists to improve outcomes and costs associated with patient treatment as they transition to value-based care.

"Community-based oncology practices are facing unprecedented pressure as they pivot to adapt to value-based reimbursement models," stated Heidi Hunter, President of Cardinal Health Specialty Solutions. "With Navista TS, we are delivering the most complete set of integrated, AI-enabled solutions and actionable insights to enable oncologists to improve patient care and enhance practice performance."

Navista TS consists of connected, point-of-service technology solutions including:

• Episode Analytics, a data-driven cost tracking tool, built by Cardinal Health's innovation engine, Fuse. This tool allows oncologists and administrators to accurately measure the cost of care at the start of and during the episode of care, enabling more informed treatment decisions as well as clearer insights into value-based performance.

 (EHR), revenue cycle management services (RCM), a practice management system (PMS), a patient portal, and telehealth solutions. The platform assists in simplifying decision making, streamlining operations, and ensuring a smooth transition to value-based care, saving providers time as well as elevating administrative burden so they can focus on patient care. CureMD and Cardinal Health will work in partnership to provide CureMD's oncology tech solutions.
