Becker's Healthcare: 11 Oncology Leaders on the Complexity of Moving Cancer Care Beyond Hospital Walls

Dr. Amar Rewari was featured in Becker's Healthcare alongside 10 other oncology leaders in a roundup exploring a critical question facing health systems today: what capabilities are most underestimated when expanding cancer care into outpatient, home-based, and mobile settings?

In his contribution, Dr. Rewari highlighted the operational complexity of managing clinical risk outside the hospital - emphasizing that shifting the site of service is only the beginning. He spoke to the need for real-time monitoring, rapid escalation pathways, and tight coordination across pharmacy, nursing, and physician teams. Without that infrastructure in place, he noted, minor issues can quickly escalate into emergency department visits.

Dr. Rewari also stressed that the health systems finding success in this space are those building centralized command capabilities and treating outpatient oncology as a continuous care model rather than a series of disconnected encounters.

The feature included contributors from institutions such as Northwell Health, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, City of Hope Chicago, Roswell Park, and Advocate Health. All contributors are speakers at the Becker's Oncology Executive Summit in Chicago.
