Pathways Task Force Subcommittee
Mission Statement: The mission of Value Pathways powered by NCCNTM/Level I Pathways is to
facilitate the delivery of high quality, high value cancer care to our patients through a physician-
driven network-supported program utilizing evidence based medicine.
I. PURPOSE A. The purpose of this document is to outline the stakeholders, processes and expectations for
developing and maintaining clinical, evidence-based medicine pathways (Level I Pathways and Value Pathways powered by NCCNTM) that are governed by The US Oncology Network’s Pathways Task Force (PTF).
II. DEFINITIONS
A. Pathways Task Force (PTF) 1. The PTF is a sub-committee of the US Oncology Network P&T committee which governs
the development and maintenance of The US Oncology Network’s Level I Pathways/Value Pathways powered by NCCNTM.
2. The PTF advises and makes recommendations to the P&T Committee and The US Oncology Network for incorporation of evidence-based, cost-effective treatment to include on Level I Pathways/Value Pathways which supports:
i. The use of clinical trials ii. Evidence-based data for specific cancer types based on disease and patient-specific
characteristics iii. Cost effective systemic treatment iv. Continuous monitoring and analysis of results and outcomes.
B. Value Pathways powered by NCCNTM 1. Joint evidence and value-based treatment guidelines developed and maintained by
The US Oncology PTF in collaboration with designated NCCN Guideline disease committee members.
2. Value Pathways powered by NCCNTM are a subset of the NCCN Disease Guidelines. 3. Technology Platforms
a. iKnowMed (iKM): An electronic health record which is utilized by, but not restricted to, participating US Oncology Network practices.
b. Clear Value PlusSM (CVP): the decision support tool that delivers Value Pathways powered by NCCNTM and NCCN Disease Guideline content to practices by interfacing with contracted EHR’s.

V. Voting Members (appendix A):
1. Each pathway (PW) will have a corresponding Disease Chair who will oversee development and maintenance of said PW. Each Disease Chair is a voting member of the PTF
2. Voting members of the PTF within The US Oncology Network are appointed by the P&T Committee Chairman, McKesson Specialty Health Chief Medical Officer and the PTF Chairman.
3. Terms of membership will be reviewed by the PTF Chair annually. 4. NCCN will appoint 3 physician members for each Pathway as voting members to be
involved in the review and incorporation of data into Value Pathways development and update. The physicians will be existing members of the NCCN Guideline Panel for the disease.
VI. PTF MEETINGS:
5. PTF meetings will take place monthly or as determined by the PTF Chair. 6. Semi-annual P&T meetings may include in-person meetings.
A. Pathway Maintenance – General Guidelines
1. A process for reviewing and updating Pathways will be followed. 2. Evidence to be considered for Pathways will be reviewed during monthly PTF calls. 3. Each Pathway will be reviewed for updates/changes at least once per year. Reviews will
include, but are not limited to: a. Evidence Tables for any regimens to be considered for addition to Pathways b. Cost evaluation (cost to payer and pt is evaluated)
B. External Pharmacoeconomic Submissions
1. External submissions based on pharmacoeconomic data may be accepted for PTF review. a. All submissions will be published on-line in accordance with guidelines from the MSH
website (https://oncology.mckessonspecialtyhealth.com/clinical-tools/value-pathways) 2. A summary of PTF discussion and aggregated votes will be included for display on the MSH
website along with the original submission documents once P&T voting is complete a. The final PTF decision is communicated to the submitter within 120 days from
complete submission.
