In this interview, Federico Cappuzzo, MD, National Cancer Institute Regina Elena, Rome, Italy, discusses the benefits of the subcutaneous formulation of atezolizumab compared with atezolizumab intravenous. "The impact of subcutaneous atezolizumab on real-world practice will be very high because the possibility of delivering a drug in a very easy way is very important for the patient. It is extremely important because we need, particularly in cancer patients and particularly in patients with advanced disease, where the duration of life unfortunately is limited, we have to reduce the time they spend in the hospital."

As employers finalize their 2025 health benefit plans, they're focusing on member enrollment and managing medical and pharmacy benefits amidst a changing health care landscape. Post-pandemic, employers must navigate economic pressures and competitive market shifts while considering multi-year financial risk trends for their covered populations. Key trends influencing these decisions: - Precision medicine is driving targeted care and better patient outcomes. - Whole person health emphasizes holistic care and cost management. - Biosimilars and biologics are transforming specialty care. - Rising Claim Costs highlight the need for transparency and careful planning. In the September/October issue for the Journal of Clinical Pathways, Randy Vogenberg, PhD details how employers must balance cost, quality, and consumer engagement to ensure sustainable health care coverage. #JournalofClinicalPathways #JCP #EmployerBenefits #HealthcareTrends #PrecisionMedicine #WholePersonHealth #Biosimilars #CostManagement #2025Planning https://lnkd.in/e6hYpiB3

Clinical pathways play a crucial role in standardizing cancer treatment, reducing care variation, and improving patient outcomes. While they are most widely adopted by sophisticated provider organizations and integrated delivery networks (IDNs), their potential to optimize oncology care is undeniable. Traditional management tools like formularies and order sets have been staples across various therapeutic areas, but in oncology, their impact is more immediate due to rapid advancements in precision medicine and new drug classes.

In the latest issue of the Journal of Clinical Pathways, Sheryl Riley, RN, OCN, CMCN, and Randy Vogenberg, PhD, provide a brief literature review on users, uses, and a recent electronic survey to de­termine how users use clinical pathways along with their feedback around their value. "With the rise of team-based and patient-centered care strategies in recent decades, the use of clinical pathways has expanded to include more nonphysicians care decision-makers. While man­aged care has driven the expansion of pathway use in hospitals and community practices, there is a need to rethink who uses or needs different types of clinical pathways," said the authors.

In the latest issue of the Journal of Clinical Pathways, Christine Wilson, MA, MS, and colleagues describe how patients with­in three diverse communities who are living with cancer understand and make shared decisions. This is the third installment of a three-part series on decision support tools and shared decision-making. "As patients progress in their illness jour­ney, they become accomplished citizens in the “kingdom of the sick,” more knowledgeable about their conditions, and skilled in navigating the health care system. As a result, they are better able to become true partners in the decision-making process," wrote the authors.
