Benchmarking is a powerful way to understand how your practice is doing compared to other oncology practices nationwide. You will see where you are succeeding and also where there may be opportunities for improvement. Is your staffing level higher than most other practices? Are there ways you can improve revenue cycle management ? How does your income and operating expenses compare to others? is my Oral Pharmacy operating efficiently?

These questions and many more can be answered by utilizing the power of COAnalyzer and the continual stream of learning and information sharing. Coanalyzer provides more than 1,100 charts and reports so you can visualize answers to many of the questions you have regarding your practice.

COAnalyzer: Data to better serve patients

Knowing how our practice compares to others is key to ensuring we’re in a position to do the best for our patients. We want to ensure that we measure up to our peers, from knowing we’re spending the right amount to attract and retain the best staff to learning how our revenue and expenses compare with others. We are always looking for ways to make sure we’re measuring up.

COAnalyzer is a powerful, intuitive tool that provides reassurance through these helpful comparisons. When more practices participate, the data becomes more robust, which means we have better information to help us learn and improve. We’re grateful to have access to a tool designed specifically for community oncology practices.

If you’re a reluctant user, start small! COA is responsive and understanding of the needs of practices that use this data. If a specific data category isn’t included in the system, we start a dialogue with COA. The software evolves with our help and suggestions. COA talks with us about our intentions and goals to ensure that the software works best for us. With COAnalyzer, benchmarking is a two-way street.

Take time to add as much information about your practice as you can. COAnalyzer lets you and other COA-member practices reap the benefits of collective and intuitive benchmarking so we can all continue doing what we do best—caring for our patients.

COAnalyzer: Telling community oncology’s story.

Our clinical and pharmacy team at New England Cancer Specialists (NECS) is always thinking about our oral pharmacy capacities. Are we at par with other community oncology practices in New England, and across the country? In what areas can we improve? With COAnalyzer, we can answer these questions with the click of a button. It allows you to see what your practice is doing and how it compares. The breadth of information provided by the easy-to-use software is essential to our benchmarking processes.

COAnalyzer is valuable both inside and outside the walls of our clinic. Not only does the tool help us understand where we stand in comparison to others, but its national data bolsters our efforts to lobby against pharmacy benefit managers and their direct and indirect remuneration fees—one area where community oncology practices are held hostage. With this tabulated data in hand, community oncologists can speak to government officials with confidence about the harmful effects of bad policy.

Every practice should take advantage of the tools and information that COA and COAnalyzer provide. The more data that we put into the system, the more we can work together to support these essential efforts. Inputting data is an opportunity for practices to stand together to tell the story of community oncology—to patients, practices, and our Congressional leadership.
