Redefining Rural & Community Based Radiation Oncology Care to Ensure Quality Services Stay Close To Home.
Significant barriers to cancer treatment are faced by millions of Americans living in rural
areas ranging from a lack of specialized resources, including peer review, to poor support for complex treatments.
Bridge Oncology eliminates barriers by deploying a distributed care coordination service which integrates physicians, physicists, dosimetrists, and revenue cycle professionals efficiently connected by specialized software platforms.
Rural populations, which comprise 15% to 20% of the US population, consistently have higher mortality rates that urban populations. Additional challenges include: uneven workforce distribution, travel distance, and financial burdens.
Bridge Oncology provides rural communities with experienced radiation oncologists, effectual peer review, and operational experts to ensure that cancer patients have consistency in their radiation oncology care path.
Currently there is a shortage of oncologists and support staff practicing in rural areas, with only 11.2% of US Oncologist working full-time in these geographic areas. Shortages throughout rural healthcare settings create a barrier to overall service line operations.
Bridge Oncology establishes accurate and efficient care from expert providers and support staff, which ensures that geography is not a barrier to access, quality, or value.
