December 14, 2020 GE Healthcare and St. Luke s University Health Network in Pennsylvania will pilot the first One-Stop Clinic rapid diagnostic breast cancer center model in the U.S.
The One-Stop Clinic model utilizes a multimodality approach to coordinate patient journeys from initial appointment through diagnosis and treatment plan. It keeps patients with one team in one location to reduce the time frame between an abnormal screening mammogram and a breast cancer treatment plan.
The Gustave Roussy Cancer Center in France first created the model to improve clinical outcomes and expedite breast cancer diagnosis and treatment planning. GE Healthcare and Premier previously announced plans in 2019 to open the first One-Stop Clinic model in the U.S.
