New
York,
NY,
February

2025
–(PR.com)– Coordinate
Platform
from
Agamon
Health
will
automate
cancer
centers’
ability
to
improve
follow-up
care
and
treatment.

New
York
Cancer
&
Blood
Specialists
(NYCBS),
one
of
the
largest
community
cancer
centers
in
the
US,
serving
patients
across
New
York
State,
announces
a
new
partnership
with

Agamon
Health.
NYCBS
uses
the
Agamon
Health
Coordinate
platform
to
close
care
gaps
in
their
cancer
screening,
early
disease
detection,
and
treatment
monitoring
programs
by
improving
patient
follow-up.

NYCBS
has
been
using
the
Agamon
Health
Coordinate
platform
to
improve
the
following
for
general
radiology
procedures
across
41
locations:

1.
Identify
patients
with
gaps
in
their
care
based
on
their
medical
report,
using
advanced
AI.

2.
Automate
the
tracking,
matching,
and
communication
with
referring
providers
and
patients.

3.
Improve
the
early
diagnosis
and
appropriate
follow-up
care
with
these
patients
so
they
receive
timely
treatment.

“Patients
undergoing
cancer
screening,
treatment,
or
survivorship
care
require
continuous
attention
and
management.
Manually
handling
these
workflows
places
a
significant
burden
on
clinical
teams
and
increases
the
risk
of
care
gaps,”
says
Dr.
Jeff
Vacirca,
Oncologist
and
CEO
of
New
York
Cancer
&
Blood
Specialists.
“Agamon
Health
automation
is
revolutionizing
our
operations
by
helping
us
improve
patient
care,
and
enhance
our
ability
to
efficiently
deliver
that
care
while
capturing
more
necessary
patient
referrals.”

During
the
first
three
months
of
using
this
new
software
to
close
patient
care
gap
follow-ups
automatically,
NYCBS
realized
the
following
operational
and
financial
benefits,
which
enabled
NYCBS
to
quickly
realize
a
6X
Return
On
Investment
(ROI).

General
radiology
patients:

–
28%
more
patients
returned
for
follow-up
care,
translating
into
an
additional
500
imaging
studies
annually.

–
Saved
approximately
$100K
(annualized)
in
clinical
staff
costs.

–
High-risk
breast
cancer
patients:

–
Identified
these
patients
and
notified
their
referring
physician
of
their
eligibility
for
breast
MRI.

–
38%
of
these
patients
completed
their
breast
MRI.

Michal
Meiri,
Agamon
Health
CEO,
expressed
enthusiasm
for
the
company’s
collaboration,
stating,
“We
are
pleased
that
NYCBS
has
realized
significant
clinical
and
operational
benefits
after
a
short
time
using
our
platform.
These
results
reinforce
our
belief
that
community
cancer
centers
and
cancer
care,
in
general,
can
benefit
from
automating
the
closure
of
care
gaps.”
