Medical Education Exchange (MEDX) Oncology 2017

Medical Education Exchange (MEDX) Oncology is organized by Medical Education Exchange (MEDX) and would be held during Sep 7 - 8, 2017 at Hilton East Brunswick, East Brunswick, New Jersey, United States Of America.

The standard of care for cancer treatment is being redefined as healthcare delivery undergoes total reform, medical knowledge continues to advance rapidly, and therapeutic options for many tumor types have multiplied. As the cultural shift towards value-based practice propels forward, instigated by the National Quality Strategy, new payment models have been introduced to align quality and value with reimbursement. Achievement of high-quality practice requires decision-making consistent with clinical guidelines, quality measures, and emerging safety and efficacy data.

The MEDX|Oncology CME Conference has been developed to provide oncology treatment teams with practice and system-based strategies to narrow the widening gap between evidence-based treatment recommendations, current practice patterns, and reimbursement requirements.

MEDX|Oncology is a 2-day, multi-topic CME conference designed for the oncology care team including physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, nurse navigators, and pharmacists who work in an oncology practice setting.

Practice-based Objectives
At the conclusion of this 2-day conference, participants should be able to demonstrate the ability to:

Incorporate treatment pathways and quality measures to ensure patients receive guideline-consistent care.
Evaluate the sequential and combination administration of chemotherapy and targeted agents to optimize patient survival.
Discuss current recommendations for diagnostic testing across multiple tumor types to facilitate treatment selection.
Assess the safety and efficacy of currently approved and emerging agents for the management of multiple tumor types following relapse.
Apply effective mitigation and management strategies for novel agents with new mechanisms of action.

System-based Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to demonstrate the ability to:

Employ cost-effective treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes and minimize the financial burden for patients and practices.
Determine best practices to improve quality reporting to meet MACRA and OCM requirements.
Develop individualized patient-centered care management plans including the 13 components outlined by the IOM.
Discuss barriers to employing value-based care and tactics to resolve these challenge.
Analyze and integrate patient data into practice improvement strategies.
