In our research for our annual Community Oncology Trend Report, we survey independent community oncology practices’ perceived likelihood of joining an oncology network aggregator (eg, the US Oncology Network, OneOncology, American Oncology Network) in the next 5 years.
Survey data collected from 2021 to 2023 show that, year-over-year, independent practices rated increasingly higher likelihoods of joining a network aggregator, and the percentage of practices indicating a high likelihood of joining a network aggregator rose from 18% in 2021 to 35% in 2023 (Figure 1).
An increasingly consolidated provider market, competitive and economic advantages touted by network aggregators, and mixed perspectives on these promised benefits color the story behind whether practices want to join these network aggregators.
