Not So Different: Kathy Oubre on What Oncology Practices Have Lacked During the Pandemic
We sat down with Kathy Oubre, chief operating officer at the Pontchartrain Cancer Center, to discuss what practices have had to forgo during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) crisis and how biosimilar access has been affected.
During 7 months of combatting the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, US health care practices, especially in oncology, had to completely modify how they could safely treat patients. They may have reduced waiting room capacity, barred caregivers from attending appointments with patients, increased telehealth usage, or reworked priorities and postponed decisions.
Some health care experts believe the pandemic will improve the overall uptake of biosimilars because it has made cost savings more important. Many patients face financial hardships as a result of the crisis.
