For the last two decades, Ed Rodgers has been at the forefront in creating and evolving oncology clinical pathways. He is driven by the desire to improve outcomes for patients with cancer. His experience began as the sole software engineer that created the first version of Via Oncology’s Pathways platform (now ClinicalPath) and has evolved to his current role as Director of Network Development for Elsevier’s ClinicalPath. Ed has a deep knowledge of healthcare information technologies, analytics, and the root-cause limitations of both – and uses that knowledge to contribute to the executive advisory board member for the Cancer Business Forum. He is a strong patient advocate, believing that quality of life, however that patient defines “quality of life”, should remain the principal goal of care. Ed received his BS from the University of Pittsburgh in Natural Sciences.
