Key Takeaways:

• Trump's executive order has led to the removal of health equity plans from the CMS's Enhancing Oncology Model (EOM).
• The EOM, successor to the Oncology Care Model, initially focused on health equity but now faces changes in data collection requirements.
• CMS remains committed to transparency and advancing its mission, despite the removal of mandatory health equity plans.
• Discussions about making oncology models mandatory continue, raising concerns for smaller practices due to significant start-up costs.
