Through network aggregation, Cornerstone delivers value added opportunities that support independence and long-term sustainability for community-based oncology practices.  We negotiate optional, contracted services on behalf of the network.

  • Drug distribution: Cornerstone has entered into a unique, first of its kind distribution agreement that can provide incremental value on drug purchases for member practices
  • Answering services: Cornerstone has negotiated discounted pricing with national service provider, PerfectServe, to address the lack of available personnel to answer the increase in the volume of calls from patients. Relevant services include answering service, physician scheduling platform and a patient communication platform
  • Telecommunications: Cornerstone has partnered with Velocity, a major telecommunications company in the United States that provides solutions and products across the telecommunications platform. This exclusive partnership leverages aggregation to provide cost savings, and 24/7 support through a domestic network of 5,500+ certified field technicians. Network members have access to a free audit of overall telecommunications expenditures with solutions to reduce overall cost. Digital signage and media solutions are also available
  • Best practices Through its network, Cornerstone has access to track best-in-class practices across other community-based oncology practices. These practices span clinical practice patterns and key business metrics. Member practices can also participate in moderated network forums to discuss key business issues

Value services

Cornerstone is committed to its mission of providing value to community-based oncology practices in order to help maximize the quality of patient care.  It offers services to help maximize value in practice operations.

01

Real Estate

Real estate: One of the largest costs a practice will experience is the cost of office and clinical real estate.  A focus on facility efficiency can provide significant benefits to every member practice. Cornerstone has partnered with an expert in healthcare real estate to provide the following services: 

  • Real estate assessment (owned or leased): Customized output report that shows areas of savings, opportunities, or verification of cost (and/or rent) specific to the practice
  • Lease evaluations: Identification of opportunities for long-term savings, or points of negotiation for future lease renewals
  • Real estate development and alternate ownership models: Project management as the facility is being planned and development implemented. Services available through Cornerstone and its partner can drive the schedule, control the budget and ensure the quality of design and construction remains intact. Beyond development, experience also includes executing real estate joint ventures to link the hospital and physician group(s) for market share strategies; equity funding; and managing the development process for the owner without equity
  • Membership in Cornerstone Asset Partners, LLC (CAP) – CAP is the only entity of its kind for community oncology practices and was formed to efficiently aggregate real estate, and related services, across its membership
