This series was created to inform oncologists that a major change in the way they make money is coming and to educate them about the options under consideration. The most significant finding appeared in the third graf of the first installment when a source said "…a lot of them don't understand what they're about to be hit with." Throughout the reporting process, it became increasingly clear that most oncologists are unaware of the impending upheaval to their practices and how they need to prepare.
