"Through linking US Oncology's extensive iKnowMed oncology-specific electronic medical records system to our clinical, evidence-based cancer care treatment pathways, we have demonstrated our commitment to utilizing health information technology and quality measures in order to bring the highest quality cancer care directly to the patient's community. We hope to work with Sen. Daschle and his colleagues to apply comparable strategies to achieve similar positive effects across the spectrum of health care delivery in 2009."
