"Not So Different": OneOncology Gives a Closer Look at Its Biosimilar Adoption
This week on the podcast, we’re speaking with Jeffrey Patton, MD, chief executive officer of Tennessee Oncology, a partner practice of OneOncology, and the president of physician services for OneOncology. Patton shares with us the rationale for the adoption of biosimilars, how patients are responding, and lessons learned.
