Journal of Clinical Pathways

ournal of Clinical Pathways® (JCP) is the only peer-reviewed publication solely dedicated to the in-depth exploration of oncology clinical pathways—a critical area of cancer care that is not covered with comparable rigor or focus in any other journal. What truly sets JCP apart is its multidisciplinary editorial board, which brings together health care providers, researchers, payers, and clinical pathways experts. This diverse representation ensures that every piece published reflects the perspectives and needs of all key stakeholders involved in the delivery of value-based cancer care.

JCP serves as a vital forum for educational and scholarly articles on the development, implementation, and evaluation of oncology clinical pathways. It covers a wide array of relevant and emerging topics, including:

• Comparative-effectiveness research
• Big data analytics
• Methodologies in pathway development
• Implementation science and adherence strategies
• Health economics and outcomes research
• Patient-centered outcomes
• Alternative payment and value-based care models

JCP's mission is to drive forward the conversation around oncology clinical pathways as a transformative tool for delivering high-quality, cost-effective care—especially as the health care system transitions from fee-for-service to value-based models. Clinical pathways unite real-world data with clinical decision-making to promote precision, consistency, and optimal outcomes in cancer care.
