The patient comes in with their loved ones
and they actually meet with all of the physicians
as a group. We recognize and we have made
the investment in the concept that having
their care team there allows us to give them
a roadmap for what these complicated treatment
plans are going to involve where we can teach
the family members and the patients and the
other loved ones about what to do expect because
we know that informed patients make better patients. 
They have fewer complications. The
buzzword is shared decision-making. This is
patient-centered care in action. It’s an
incredibly efficient process. That's
 much better than a fee for service model where
you may see-- you may get your biopsy. You
may see your primary care doctor for the result.
They may send you to a surgeon which could
take several days for you to see. They may
send a letter to a medical oncologist, which
may or may not get there and this process
can drag out over days or weeks. We think
the value driven way to take care of that
is to get all of the specialists together,
create the time in their schedule for them
to be together and meet with the patients
so they can make a treatment plan that they
agree on from the beginning and get it rolling. Patients
 love it. We’re all in the same
room so we reduce the variation in care. It’s
based on science. This is right care at the
right time.
