About

Thomas W. Feeley is a leading voice in the transformation of healthcare delivery, with his research centering on value-based care, patient-reported outcomes, and innovative methods for communicating clinical data. His most impactful work, "Communicating Value in Health Care Using Radar Charts: A Case Study of Prostate Cancer" (2016, 53 citations), introduced a groundbreaking framework for visualizing the trade-offs between treatment outcomes and costs. By adapting radar charts to the medical context, Feeley provided a practical tool for patients and providers to compare therapies through a standardized, multi-dimensional lens—directly addressing the challenge of nonstandardized outcomes in the shift from volume to value. This contribution has influenced how institutions present comparative effectiveness data, making complex cost-benefit analyses more accessible. Beyond this seminal paper, Feeley’s broader scholarship has shaped discussions on integrating patient perspectives into clinical decision-making and operationalizing value in oncology. His work remains a touchstone for researchers and clinicians seeking to bridge the gap between economic theory and bedside practice, cementing his role as a key architect of modern value-based healthcare communication.
