Cota Chief Scientific Officer to Present at the ACCC Annual Meeting & Cancer Center Business Summit

Dr. Stuart Goldberg to share how Cota empowers commercial bundles in oncology

NEW YORK, March 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Cota Inc., a real-world data and analytics company bridging precision medicine to population health, today announced its chief scientific officer, Stuart Goldberg, M.D., will speak today, Thursday, March 15 at the Association of Community Cancer Centers (ACCC) 44(th) Annual Meeting and Cancer Center Business Summit in Washington D.C. The event, taking place at the Renaissance Washington, D.C. Downtown Hotel, brings together leading experts to explore innovation in oncology and discuss approaches for navigating business and policy changes in cancer care.

Dr. Goldberg will be speaking during a panel titled "Preparing for Commercial Bundles in Oncology," under the policy track. He will provide an overview of how Cota assists practices in preparing for bundle programs and why practices need a complete understanding of the types of patients they see and the associated costs. Cota's precise disease classification system, the Cota Nodal Address(TM) (CNA), is the market leader in facilitating commercial bundle design. It considers differences in patients with cancer and breaks them into smaller cohorts of similar patients, thus facilitating bundle design. Representatives from Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey and Archway Health will also be speaking on the panel.

Cota's CNA is a breakthrough method of precisely classifying patients and their diseases using a concise digital code to enable innovation in precision medicine. The patented system organizes the complexities of patients and their diseases in a form that permits detailed analysis of outcomes, toxicities, practice patterns, care variances and cost. It then assesses these factors to build a bundled program where the provider understands the average costs and where savings can be made.
