At this year’s ACCC Cancer Care Business Summit, one panel tackled a critical question: How can technology help cancer programs expand patient access and improve care delivery in the face of real-world operational constraints?
During the session “Navigating Tech Enablement to Expand Patient Access in Cancer Care,” attendees were asked to weigh in via live polls. The responses revealed a field in transition—full of ambition, yet facing the practical realities of decentralized systems and shifting priorities.
5 Core Takeaways We Learned from Cancer Care Leaders
- Most Organizations Lack a Standard Tech Evaluation Framework
Over half of participants said their organization doesn’t have a structured, organization-wide process to evaluate or adopt new technology. Decisions are often made at the department level, leading to inconsistent implementation and reduced ROI. - Digital Strategies Are Rapidly Evolving
63% of respondents said their strategy had changed significantly over the past year. This indicates a climate of active experimentation, re-prioritization, and adaptation to new patient and operational needs. - Transformation Goes Beyond Tools
Attendees largely agreed: digital transformation is more than a tech upgrade. It’s a complete reimagining of workflows, communication, and patient interaction. - AI, Efficiency, and Personalization Top the List
When asked about their current digital priorities, most respondents pointed to AI-powered clinical support, administrative automation, and personalized care strategies as their top focus areas. - Diverse Roles Are Driving the Discussion
The audience spanned vendor partners, service line managers, clinicians, and executive leaders—highlighting the cross-functional nature of successful digital change.
Why It Matters
To drive real change, cancer programs must unify behind a common strategy—one that breaks down silos, aligns stakeholders, and delivers measurable results. From clinical impact to operational efficiency, the path forward isn’t just digital—it’s strategic.
