An Expanded Issue, A Continued Commitment to Advancing Clinical Pathways
Dear Readers,
We are pleased to present this combined issue of the Journal of Clinical Pathways, featuring a robust collection of articles that reflect the evolving landscape of oncology care and the important role of clinical pathways in improving patient outcomes.
To ensure we continue delivering high-quality, comprehensive content to our readers, we made the decision to combine these issues into one expanded edition. This approach allowed us to bring together an extensive and diverse collection of original research, practical insights from the field, and expert perspectives addressing the clinical, economic, and operational challenges facing oncology professionals.
Among the highlights are an Original Research article examining electronic health record-supported genetic testing in metastatic prostate cancer, a From the Field article exploring clinical pathway implementation within the US Department of Veterans Affairs, and a COA Viewpoint column examining survival outcomes in community oncology.
Readers will also find valuable perspectives on pharmaceutical pathway placement and the evolving relationship between clinical pathways, health care costs, and medical appropriateness. As an added bonus, this edition includes 2 Transformative Business Trends columns, offering additional insight into the financial and policy considerations shaping health care delivery.
As we look ahead to the new year, we anticipate another year of impactful research, innovative insights, and meaningful contributions that continue to advance clinical pathways and shape the future of oncology care.
We invite researchers, clinicians, and other health care professionals to contribute their original research, real-world experiences, and expert perspectives to future issues of the journal.
Thank you for your continued readership, engagement, and contributions to the Journal of Clinical Pathways. We hope you enjoy this expanded issue and look forward to sharing more with you.
Sincerely,
Grace Taylor
Managing Editor
