The Toledo Clinic Cancer Centers Partners with Canopy

New partnership aims to operationalize continuous care management

The Toledo Clinic Cancer Centers (TTCCC), a multi-specialty oncology practice and member of ONCare Alliance, today announced a partnership with Canopy, the first Intelligent Care Platform for oncology, to further enhance patient outcomes through continuous care management.

TTCCC will implement Canopy’s comprehensive, EHR-integrated platform to streamline triage processes for more efficient and standardized care, capture reimbursement for this care through a Principal Care Management (PCM) program, and further enhance patient outcomes through continuous symptom monitoring (ePROs).

“Our goal is to provide patients with the highest quality of care, both inside and outside The Toledo Clinic. To do this, we are transitioning to a more continuous care delivery model. With Canopy, we are equipping patients with digital tools to share issues they experience between visits, all while streamlining daily operations. Continuous care is the future, and we’re excited to be at the forefront.”

—John Stout, Executive Director of The Toledo Clinic Cancer Centers.

The Canopy Platform includes ePRO-based remote monitoring, enabling patients to report symptoms between office visits. Care teams can efficiently manage reports and other tasks through a Smart Work Queue that prioritizes issues and enables seamless task management across departments. Oncology-specific triage pathways support nurses in resolving reports, all while auto-documenting key information to the EHR.

Real-world studies of Canopy’s ePRO and remote triage system show high patient engagement—88% at six months [JCO, 2022]—as well as demonstrated clinical outcomes, including an observed 22% lower rate of ER visits/hospitalizations [ASCO, 2022] and up to a 45% observed increase in treatment persistence at 3 months [ASCO, 2022].

TTCCC will also deploy Canopy’s Program Management module to identify and prioritize eligible patients for PCM, streamline enrollment processes and end-to-end care workflows for staff, and automatically capture care time for reimbursement.

Canopy recently announced new partnerships with New York Cancer & Blood Specialists, Oncology Consultants, and Northwest Hematology & Oncology, rapidly growing its network of leading oncology practices.
