Reason of Initiating QI Project

Quality assessment and reporting program for outpatient hematology-oncology practices – to create a culture of self-examination and improvement.

Impact of The Project on Patients Care

  • Standardize processes at the Cancer Center to ensure smooth patient flow. Also, it is important certificate where our Cancer Center would be bench marked with USA Cancer Centers.

The Quality Oncology Practice Initiative Certification – QOPI

Cancer care is associated with high risk of mortality and morbidity due to the disease and its treatment. American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) developed a quality oncology practice initiative program (QOPI) that ensures patient safety via assessing physician practice and compliance with certification standards at the level of oncology outpatient clinic. QOPI team participated in QOPI Certification pathway aiming to assess our practice, benchmarked against other oncology centers and team achieved QOPI Certification required score ( 93% ). This made our practice eligible for on-site certification visit by ASCO QOPI surveyors on May 2018 to assess practice compliance with QOPI standards. After addressing the unmet standards from the visit, our center became the first QOPI Certified Center in the Middle East and Asia in October 2018.
