Enhancing Oncology Model (EOM) participants are driving value-based cancer care. What’s new: First reconciliation results for the CMS Innovation Center’s Enhancing Oncology Model (EOM) showed cost savings for more than three-quarters of participants; more than half were also rewarded for care quality. Why it matters: EOM – informed by lessons learned from its predecessor, the Oncology Care Model – is showing great promise for achieving major cost savings and improved quality of care for cancer patients. What to expect: In July 2025, the model welcomed its second cohort of participants for a combined total of 3,000 practitioners who will help shape the future of cancer care.

Got a minute? CMS Innovation Center’s Anna Goldman shares how “episodes of care” are used in models like Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM) to strengthen collaboration in health care delivery. TEAM aims to improve the patient experience from surgery through recovery. CMS recently published new policies for the model to increase patient choice and more easily capture performance measures without increasing administrative burden on participating providers.

#WheresAbe? In July, CMS Innovation Center Director Abe Sutton traveled to Chicago, to connect with CMS staff and model participants as part of our mission to Make America Healthy Again. Highlights: • Abe met with our CMS Chicago Regional Office team to discuss the Innovation Center’s new strategy and how the agency can best work together to reach our shared goal of delivering high-quality, cost-efficient care to Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries. This team is critical for helping advance Innovation Center priorities. • He also had the opportunity to visit Miles Square Health Center at the University of Illinois - a Federally Qualified Health Center participating in the Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program (MDPP) Model. MDPP aims to slow the progression of Type 2 diabetes by providing evidence-based lifestyle intervention education to Medicare beneficiaries with prediabetes. The goal is to help patients build sustainable habits to better manage their health and prevent the onset of diabetes. The Miles Square team shared real-world challenges they face in patient recruitment and retention and some of the strategies they are using to overcome them. These strategies include: - Home Tech Support: Community health workers visit patients at home to assist with setting up and using technology, - Staff Training: All staff are trained to identify eligible patients and engage them throughout their visit, - Logistics Support: Coordinated efforts to support in-person attendance, including transportation and childcare assistance. What’s ahead: To better support patients in MDPP, the CMS Innovation Center has proposed updates to include a new on-demand online delivery option in MDPP: (URL to Innovation Insight). This virtual, asynchronous approach would give patients the flexibility to complete the program at their own pace, in their own space. This effort furthers our focus on expanding access to evidence-based prevention services – ensuring that more beneficiaries can participate in models that help them stay healthy and avoid disease progression. The Innovation Center looks forward to continued collaboration with model participants and communities across America to find new ways to empower patients to live healthier lives. • Learn more about MDPP: go.cms.gov/3HmzS0W • Explore the CMS Innovation Center strategy: go.cms.gov/strategy
