Coding Strategies (SM) (CSI) and Oncology Solutions Announce a New Alliance 08/30/2011

Coding Strategies, and Oncology Solutions partner to enhance the oncology-focused coding education, consulting and reference tools available to clients looking to strengthen and expand their cancer programs.

"Developing systems to effectively manage the administration and day-to-day operations of a cancer care program is critical to providers not only in improving performance and efficiency, but the overall patient experience," said Rhonda Mealor, senior managing partner of Oncology Solutions. "This alliance with CSI enables us to bring even greater value to our clients by providing them access to the resources and expertise they need to streamline and improve many of the back-end processes involved in an episode of cancer care."

The partnership blends not only complementary service offerings but the organizations' shared commitment to helping health care organizations provide high-quality, community-based oncology care.

"Oncology Solutions is a well-respected consulting firm within the Oncology industry", said Melody Mulaik, Coding Strategies Chief Executive Officer. "We are pleased to formalize the relationship. Coding Strategies embraces the opportunity to share Oncology Solutions' strategic and collaborative approach with our oncology clients."

Look for the two companies later this fall as they exhibit and/or present at the following professional conferences, including the Cancer Center Business Summit, Association of Community Cancer Centers (ACCC), The American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO), Society for Radiation Oncology Administrators (SROA), Association of Cancer Executives (ACE) and The Southern Oncology Association of Practices (SOAP).
