CANCER CARE Integration for HEALTH SYSTEMS
Having partnerships is not
the same as having integration.
practical systems change for complex health challenges.
Remedy & Root helps cancer centers and health systems connect clinical care with community supports, so navigation works, patients stay in care, and the value of that work shows up where leaders can see it.
The Problem: Where Systems Break Down
Referrals stall at the handoff between organizations.
Social needs become clinical complications.
Navigators absorb duplicative, unbillable work.
And the investments you’ve already made stay invisible in every board report.
It’s not a lack of resources. It’s the connection between them.
Fragmentation is the cost.
Integration pays for itself.
Patients stay in care. Fewer people fall out between the clinic and the community-based, social supports they were referred to.
Navigation becomes sustainable. Work that is happening today without pay gets built so it can be documented and billed under Medicare’s navigation and community integration codes.
Community partners become part of the system’s infrastructure. They’re no longer just a referral list.
Leaders can see the return. Board-ready reporting links community work to quality, retention, and cost.
THE OUTCOME
What Changes When Care Is Connected
Work with Remedy & Root: TWO ways to Start
Walk the Gap
A one-day executive immersion. Your leader walk the real path your patients take aross clinic, community organizations, transportation, and home. Then, we turn what they saw into three priorities with owners.
The Community Integration Blueprint
A 90-day sprint to fix what you found. We build the navigation workflows, community partnerships, and measures that keep patients in care and make the work billable and visible.
We recommend starting with Walk the Gap and moving into the Blueprint.
Ongoing advsiory support is available after either.
Built from both sides of the system
Led by a double cancer survivor and systems change practitioner.
Tracy Steffek has spent two decades designing systems across county and state governments, national organizations, and community coalitions. Remedy & Root brings both views into the room: how a system is designed and how it actually feels to move through it.
WHO WE SERVE
Cancer centers, oncology practices, and health systems, especially teams responsible for navigation, supportive care, community benefits, and population health.
We also work with health plans, life sciences teams, and funders who want their investments
in patient support to connect to something.
Patients don’t experience their care through separate departments or referrals. And communities are not interchangeable. Lasting solutions depend on local assets, priorities, politics, relationships, geographies, culture, and funding realities using a structured framework.
When services work together, care becomes
more effective, more efficient, and more human.
