Equicare Health announces Strategic Partnership with Alliance Oncology

Wednesday, June 22, 2016

Equicare Health Inc., a leading provider of care coordination software, is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Alliance Oncology, a division of Alliance HealthCare Services, Inc. As the nationwide leader in radiation oncology and radiosurgery programs, Alliance Oncology partners directly with hospitals, physicians and other healthcare providers to offer the latest oncology technologies to their patients.  Through the partnership, Equicare’s EQUICARE CS™ software suite will form the infrastructure for oncology patient management throughout 26 Alliance treatment centers.

“Equicare’s technology will have many benefits to our patients and care teams,” states Alliance Oncology IT Director Andrew Cooper.  “Through interfaces with our Oncology Information Systems, we will drastically reduce the level of manual data entry in our centers, improving both the quality and quantity of data collected.  This will result in an improved patient experience, including 24/7 online patient portal access as well as survivorship care plans.”

Equicare CEO, Len Grenier, adds, “The Alliance Oncology network is diverse both in terms of technology and geography, posing a data collection challenge faced by many healthcare systems.  Equicare’s flexible and integrated platform is ideally suited to centrally collect and manage this patient data.  We look forward to working with the excellent team at Alliance.”

EQUICARE CS (ECS) is a complete oncology patient management solution designed to coordinate patient care through screening, treatment and into survivorship. ECS includes tools for navigation, survivorship care planning, distress management, and patient engagement, including a full featured patient portal.

Alliance is currently operating Equicare’s platform in seven centers, and expects to expand the service to 26 treatment centers this year.
