Treatment Prices at the Point of Care in a Clinical Oncology Service: Pilot Project [QUALITY IN ACTION]

Conclusion:
The pilot was feasible, built capacity to locate price data, and did not adversely affect staff workload. It addressed a clear need and demonstrated high potential overall value, especially with its protocol-based format. The resource’s lack of personalized estimates of out-of-pocket charges was the biggest gap reported.
