Hospital Administration Experience with Carevive

Beverly Farmer, Director at the CAMC Cancer Center, discusses their success with the new patient treatment clinic and the Carevive platform. The clinic was established to address issues of patient non-compliance with treatment plans. Carevive was chosen to provide a navigation system for patients, offering a more streamlined approach to patient care. With Carevive’s assistance, they could closely monitor patients throughout their treatment journey, resulting in improved communication and faster response times. This led to better-informed and more compliant patients, enhancing the overall treatment experience at the Cancer Center. The implementation of Carevive has had a positive impact on the community, fostering greater patient education and comfort during chemotherapy sessions.
