About Us
IOBS exists to redesign oncology practice to create improved, affordable patient outcomes while improving the satisfaction of both patients and physicians.
IOBS
This new company is led by Dr. Barbara McAneny and an executive management and support staff team with a wealth of clinical, management and HIT experience. The purpose of the COME HOME grant is to demonstrate that community oncology practices can provide a medical home for oncology patients in a manner that produces improved outcomes, enhanced patient care experiences and costs savings.
We expect to realize significant cost savings by shifting patients out of the Emergency Departments and inpatient facilities and into our physician office practices as much as possible. Cost savings and improved outcomes are also anticipated by through the utilization of standardized triage, diagnostic and therapeutic pathways.
The IOBS Business Goal is to provide Innovative Consulting Services and Products to the healthcare market that will provide assistance to physician practices and payors; improving health outcomes, enhancing patient care experience and significantly reducing costs of care, while improving the stability of physician practices and satisfaction.
