Fox Chase Cancer Center Partners • Established in 1986 as the 1st Cancer Network in U.S. • Dedicated Program Staff (12) • Medical Director(s) • Nurses – Project Managers • Clinical Research Staff • Business Planning & Analysis • Marketing • Vision: • To advance the role of the Fox Chase Cancer Center as an NCI designated Comprehensive Cancer Center by expanding clinical research and improving oncologic services through the region via the dissemination of knowledge and collaboration with community hospital partners
Maximizing Co-Branding Benefits 1. Measure the brand's potential to attract more patients • Like Ford, Kia, and Mercedes - different brands carry different connotations and levels of recognition. Moreover, a particular brand’s reputation may vary from market to market. Programs seeking to co-brand with FCCC have assessed the power of the Fox Chase brand name through independent market research. • Several of our partners conduct an annual telephone survey to ask the residents of their service area: "If you were diagnosed with cancer, where would you go for treatment?“ The top answer in southeastern Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey is consistently the Fox Chase Cancer Center. • These survey results enable our current and potential partners to both quantify the value of their own brand and to measure the brand power of an academic affiliate. 2. Mitigate the risks of co-branding with quality audits and monitoring • One of the Fox Chase Cancer Center’s Board of Directors biggest concerns regarding the licensing of our brand to affiliates is that it will be damaged if partner programs fail to uphold our high care standards. The Fox Chase Cancer Center Partners Program protects our brand’s value through quarter quality audits and ongoing quality monitoring. • The quarterly quality auditing and monitoring involves: • Clear, upfront communication of quality standards • Consistent application of standards • Regular progress updates on community program performance through identified metrics • Incorporating community program quality goals with FCCC standards Source: Advisory Board Oncology Roundtable
Maximizing Co-Branding Benefits 3. Regional Brand exclusivity • All of the FCCC partner institutions enjoy regional exclusivity Fox Chase shares its name with only one community program in a given region thereby enhancing brand impact. Both the community partner and Fox Chase benefit from building exclusivity into affiliation agreements. • This exclusive partnership assures community programs that the brand will differentiate them from other local competitors. The Fox Chase Cancer Center benefits from avoiding brand dilution—when the brand loses its unique or positive reputation because of how common it is—and potential conflicts of interest. FCCC also enjoys enhanced patient referrals from the areas surrounding the partner sites as a result. 4. Establish clear co-branding standards • Detailed co-branding standards benefit both community and academic programs. The Fox Chase Cancer Center Partner’s program sites sometimes feel that FCCC is slow to approve individual co-branding requests, such as using the academics’ name in a press release, newspaper article, or radio ad, but this is necessary to ensure a clear and correct public message. • FCCC is invested in ensuring that co-branding is consistent across our affiliate network. • Co-branding guidelines help academic programs ensure that the brand is used consistently and appropriately. For community programs, guidelines enhance the usability of the brand and ensure that co-branding opportunities are not missed due to confusion or delays. Source: Advisory Board Oncology Roundtable

Where we were … • We were not functioning as a coordinated network of providers, operating under common service, operations, quality, metrics, and outcomes standards. • We were not presenting a unified vision. • We had the breadth and depth to be the market leader, but we lacked coordination and organization. • We were a coalition at best, not a system. • We needed to create an overarching service-line vision.
Strategy • Organizethe service line as a network of community-based cancer centers linked to each other and centrally to an NCI-designated cancer center • Operatethe service line in a matrix accountability fashion to the leadership of the health system, the physician groups, and the academic health center. • Leveragethe overall health system brand to create a specific assurance of quality cancer care for patients and families.
