“We’re thrilled to partner with Orchid Healthcare Solutions in our shared mission to enhance the patient journey for cancer patients,” said Kate Groff, chief nursing officer of FirstHx. “FirstHx digitizes the medical history-taking process, ensuring that the care team has accurate and comprehensive patient data to inform effective care planning, coordination, and navigation.

ORCHID ONCOLOGY NAVIGATION SOLUTION
“Preventing delays in cancer treatment that contribute to health disparities is our mission and focus,” said Rochelle Prosser, chief nursing officer and founder of Orchid Healthcare Solutions. “The burden of paperwork often hinders patients from promptly seeing their specialized oncologists. This is why we are proud to partner with FirstHx. Their expertise in medical record consolidation to clinical trial submissions brings back the human touch to patient-centered care. Their clinician-led approach resonates deeply with our core values. We are excited about the future possibilities this partnership will bring in advancing patient access together.”
HOW IT WORKS: CREATING END-TO-END VALUE FOR PATIENTS AND PROVIDERS
The partnership between Orchid Healthcare Solutions and FirstHx creates a seamless experience for cancer patients and the care team.
The clinical encounter begins with FirstHx sending a text or email to the patient, prompting them to complete an adaptive, AI-guided medical history on their smartphone, tablet, or desktop before seeing the provider or nurse. The adaptive questions provide the most precise and comprehensive contextual patient medical history data, enhancing the encounter with the care team.
The patient data is integrated to the Orchid Oncology Navigation Solution, where nurses and the care team access the patient’s current and historical data alongside the full spectrum of oncological care reports. With a full view of the patient’s history and individual situation, the oncology care team can:
• Create a better patient care plan and improve the patient journey;
• Promote patient awareness and resources around system navigation;
• Expand therapeutic options aimed at improving quality of life; and
• Measure the impact of care navigation and expanded oncological access on outcomes.
PATIENT AND CARE TEAM BENEFITS
This partnership ensures that cancer patients receive the most informed and effective care, with streamlined navigation and support throughout their treatment journey. For nurses and the care team, the collaboration increases productivity, reduces administrative burdens and burnout, and improves quality of care and face-to-face visits.
