This talk will explore the benefits, risks and lessons learned from participating in oncology alternative payment models and discuss design changes for future models.

Through this team approach, individualized treatment plans can be established for each patient.

In addition to his primary clinical responsibilities, Dr. Polite’s research has focused on understanding racial and ethnic differences in colon cancer outcomes, with a focus on understanding the psychological, social, and spiritual needs of each patient.
