The P4 Pathways Program is a collaborative solution for consistent, high-quality care with proven results that have been peer reviewed and presented at national oncology meetings.

Exceptional Method

Our Pathways are developed using a proven collaborative strategy from local opinion leaders that generates a higher level of adoption and alignment from the oncology community. The level of innovation and ease of implementation in the day-to-day management of the program is distinct and contributes to the success of P4 Pathways and its partners.

P4 Pathways manages the development of pathways by establishing a steering committee of locally based academic and community oncologists to ensure pathways reflect both rigorous evidence-based medicine and the clinical expertise in that region. The pathway development process often includes several meetings and appointed sub-committees to identify optimal pathways for specific tumor types. The Steering Committee meets quarterly or more frequently when warranted to approve updates, ensuring pathway protocols quickly incorporate any proven medical advancements. Pathways Programs are flexible to reflect the evolving standards of care in evidence-based medicine.

Participation

P4 Pathways has relationships with an extensive network of oncology practices throughout the country, as evidenced by the high level of participation by community oncologists in P4 Pathways Programs.

High Compliance Rates

Compliance rates to P4 Pathway Programs are typically high, as demonstrated by results from a recent study reporting compliance to treatment pathways of approximately 86% and compliance to supportive care pathways of 95% in over 2,000 patients with breast, colon, or lung cancer (Fortner BV et al. ISPOR 2010. Abstract 23406).
