ITA Partners Launches Cancer Treatment Library

Philadelphia-based ITA Partners has launched Eviti, a technology for payers and providers that aligns prescribed cancer treatments with patients' insurance plan language at the point of prescription.

The central components of Eviti include a Web-based decision-support engine and a digital oncology treatment library. Together, these provide access to the latest, nationally accepted evidence-based treatment standards for more than 120 cancer types, while also incorporating individual insurance plan language for each patient, according to the company. It can be used as a Web-based application or as an integrated component within electronic health records software.

“Eviti is unique in that the system helps oncologists select a treatment option that is both evidence-based and compliant with each patient’s insurance plan language," Eduardo Beruff, chief executive officer and president of ITA Partners, says in a statement. "Additionally, if the physician chooses a regimen that is outside the patient’s plan language, ITA’s team of oncologists and oncology experts will facilitate a resolution with the insurance company.”
