Description
Dr. Brad Diephuis, COO & President of Thyme Care, joins Kellogg MBA student Joy Basinger to unpack how wraparound, value-based oncology care is transforming the cancer experience—especially for high-risk, MA populations. They explore how Thyme Care is going beyond the doctor’s office to deliver proactive, tech-enabled symptom monitoring and reduce avoidable ER visits and hospitalizations.
From standardizing care team workflows through the Thyme Box platform to deepening integration with partners like Oak Street Health, this episode dives into the value of structured, longitudinal support in oncology.
