We hope to see you there!


MITRE and the  HL7® FHIR® Accelerator CodeX Community invite you to a unique MITRE Listening Session on oncology clinical pathways and prior authorization of cancer therapies on June 26, 2020 from 10:00-11:30 EDT. 

Oncology is a dynamic specialty with a rapid expansion of new therapies and tumor genomics.  Over the past five years the use of oncology clinical pathways became a standard approach to assist oncologists in treatment recommendations.  Oncology clinical pathways can facilitate prior authorization for cancer treatments through interaction with payers using evidence-based treatment recommendations.  

The session will include three 15-minute presentations, each from a different stakeholder: health system, payer, and pathway vendor.  The focus of the presentations will be on the experiences, challenges, and opportunities of each stakeholder.  There will be opportunity for discussion at the end of the session. 

Register in advance for this meeting:
