Breakthrough treatments in health care are driving rapid changes in the definitions of quality and value. This is especially true in oncology, where innovations like cell and gene therapies and AI-powered diagnostics are rapidly changing care pathways.

Efforts to implement value-based care models in oncology and beyond must meet the demands of evolving science, emerging technology, new care practices, and shifting patient priorities. Quality measures must be up-to-date and relevant. Payment models must recognize the challenges and costs of managing complex patient populations with diverse needs.

In this JCP commentary series, Quality Outlook, Real Chemistry will explore key issues in quality and value through posts focused on measurement, value-based payment, and quality improvement.

Real Chemistry’s mission is to transform what health care is to what it should be by leveraging the industry’s most advanced AI-powered insights, diverse expertise, and customer-centric ideas. The organization helps the health care industry better understand, reach, and engage patients and professionals—while creating healthcare experiences that span diagnosis to adherence—enabling clients to meet and exceed their potential.

Tom Valuck, MD, JD, is the editor of Quality Outlook and leader of the Market Access Value-Based Care discipline. The Market Access team at Real Chemistry uses research and strategic advisory services to help our clients improve health and health care by assessing, responding to, and shaping the value landscape.

He also helps clients develop strategies to achieve success within the value-based marketplace.
