Practice Operations

Enhancing Oncology Model (EOM) Support Network

Resources to Increase the Value of Your Participation in the EOM

Welcome to COA’s Enhancing Oncology Model (EOM) Network! COA has created and/or collected tools and resources to help practices succeed as EOM participants. If you have a resource or tool you think would help other EOM participants, please contact us.

COA has supported payment reform since its inception – we think there is a better way than traditional fee-for-service models to support provider and payer goals while ensuring patient receive high-quality care. From practice preparation to outcomes measurement or patient resources, we hope you find these tools helpful when taking part in the EOM.

Education Resources

The Oncology Medical Home (OMH) model is a guide to identify and implement a comprehensive oncology care delivery system that is focused on quality of care. It is an all-encompassing model meant for patients, care teams, and payers of all types.

In a medical home health care delivery model, the “medical home” serves as the central coordinator of a patient’s care. The goal is to ensure that quality, outcomes, and value are optimized through patient-centered care coordination. Traditionally, medical homes have been thought of as being based with a primary care physician who oversees all of a patient care needs, including specialty care. The medical home model has been around for over 40 years and has been evolved and piloted since its introduction.

Community Oncology TV

Community Oncology TV is a free national waiting room network for all practices to install in waiting rooms, exam rooms, and more.

The goal of the Community Oncology TV Network is to increase awareness of what community oncology is and the difference it makes in cancer care. We tell the story of the people, places, and faces in community oncology that are the backbone of our nation’s cancer care system. In doing so we educate, engage, and empower patients nationwide to get more involved in advocating for their care.

Community Oncology TV practices plays a mix of lively and educational content tailored specifically for oncology patients and practices. In addition to the news, pop culture, weather, and sports programming patients love, COA has created short educational segments on the big issues that impact their cancer care locally and nationally.

Practices can also customize the Community Oncology TV screens to display practice messages such as event announcements, appointment reminders, notifications about new programs or services, and more. All of this is included free of charge to practices.
