By working with OPS, a service of US Oncology, Inc., Hematology-Oncology Associates has access to a range of services focused on enhancing the performance of the practice. The services are customized to the specific needs of community-based practices and include drug management services, such as admixture training, inventory management, enhanced charge capture, regimen analysis, and admixture and clinical staff training and education.
"This type of support allows us to practice more efficiently and will help us continue to provide the excellent service and quality of care that the community has come to expect from us," said Dr. Victor Vigil, lead oncologist at Hematology-Oncology Associates.
State-of-the-art drug distribution services and network drug contracting are vital parts of the services provided by OPS to benefit the Hematology-Oncology Associates practice.
