Institute for Cancer Care Innovation
A collaborative effort among physicians, nurses, patients, caregivers and administrators that focuses on innovative approaches to constantly improving the value of MD Anderson cancer care
Who We Are
The Institute for Cancer Care Innovation studies new and existing models of cancer care delivery and reimbursement. Its programs are based around the principles of value-based health care delivery that focuses on the outcomes and costs of care. The Institute, formerly known as the Institute for Cancer Care Excellence, was created in 2008 to demonstrate the value of MD Anderson’s research-driven multidisciplinary care. The Institute has been at the forefront nationally and internationally for its innovative approaches to measurement of the value of our cancer care delivery system.
With programs designed to measure the outcomes and costs of the care we provide, the Institute provides essential strategies for maintaining MD Anderson’s preeminent position as the nation’s No. 1 provider of cancer care in the United States.
