AON and Thyme Care: Enabling Practices with Patient-Centered Support Beyond the Clinic

Oncology is facing an inflection point as the industry continues its push toward value-based care. However, successfully scaling and implementing value-based care programs is time and resource-intensive, and can pose significant challenges for individual practices.

American Oncology Network (AON) equips its network physicians with the tools they need to thrive in value-based care arrangements, enabling physicians to focus on what matters most – providing the highest standard of patient care. Through its partnership with Thyme Care, a leading value-based cancer care enabler, AON practices can receive access to 24/7 virtual patient navigation and comprehensive support beyond the clinic for their Enhancing Oncology Model (EOM) patients, improving care outcomes while reducing costs.

Serving as an extension of AON practices, Thyme Care offers patients a dedicated Care Team to help them navigate the clinical, emotional, psychological and social barriers to care while AON oncologists continue to lead clinical decision-making. Thyme Care’s robust analytics capabilities provide continual performance monitoring insights that support practice transformation and data-driven decision-making, enabling success in the EOM.

With a shared drive to empower physicians to deliver high-quality, patient-centered care, AON’s partnership with Thyme Care reduces practice administrative burden, enhances the patient experience and furthers the delivery of true value-based care.
