Santa Monica, CA (PRWEB) June 21, 2010
Premiere Oncology announces today that it has been honored by Hematology & Oncology News & Issues® magazine with the Hematology & Oncology Practice Excellence Award (HOPE Award) in the category of “Integration of Care” among practices with one to three physicians.
“This award is especially significant in that our key focus is offering comprehensive and holistic cancer care in a supportive setting,” stated Lee Rosen, M. D., president and founder of Premiere Oncology. “To be recognized for clinical performance as well as solid business practices is an honor that our entire staff earned.”
“We are extremely pleased to recognize Premiere Oncology as a benchmark practice demonstrating standards of excellence in the ‘Integration of Care’ category,” said Larry Coutts, executive editor of Hematology & Oncology News & Issues magazine. “Dr. Rosen and the entire team of professional care providers and administrative staff are to be commended for their commitment and dedication to balancing economics and quality care. Truly, this practice is exemplary for its size, and it is a pleasure to present them as the current models of Hematology and Oncology Practice Excellence in the category of ‘Integration of Care’”.
“Physicians and health care providers while well-skilled in their profession receive little training in the ‘business’ of delivering that care,” Coutts said. “But, increasing interest in pay for performance models by payers has created a new kind of pressure on the oncology practice to develop measurable standards of practice.” This focus on balancing good business practices with quality treatment strategies is the focus of the publication’s initiative.
HOPE Award recipients are selected by a panel of oncology experts comprised of members of the publication’s editorial advisory board through a systematic analysis of metrics provided by award candidates. All submission forms are accessible via the publication’s website and from a blinded balloting process conducted with the HOPE panelists.
