The pathway to MSK Care Partnership begins with thorough due diligence, including market and financial assessments, followed by agreement on mutually acceptable terms and milestones. Prospective partners then complete a comprehensive Concordance Assessment covering Standards of Care™, resources and capabilities, clinical outcomes, and on-site visits.
Based on the Concordance Assessment results, MSK collaborates with the prospective partner to create a detailed alignment plan with specific timelines for addressing any gaps and achieving full concordance. This process establishes a clear implementation roadmap and builds mutual confidence in the partnership’s success.
Once concordance requirements are satisfied, MSK Care Partners gain access to branded marketing, facility co-branding, MSK clinical guidelines and protocols, plus ongoing educational and research support.
To maintain partnership standards and ensure delivery of cutting-edge, evidence-based cancer care, annual reviews monitor continued concordance and help facilitate adoption of the latest scientific advances.
