How Can Electronic Health Records Help Nurses Implement OCM Changes?

The Oncology Care Model (OCM) is a value-based payment system that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is piloting. OCM focuses on decreasing the cost of cancer care while continuing to provide high-quality care, including a high level of care coordination and navigation and adherence to national guidelines for care. Part of OCM requires implementing certain practice changes, including documenting a 13-point care plan for each patient.
