HaysMed’s Medical Oncology/Hematology Quality Oncology Practice Initiative (QOPI®) Certification Renewed for another 3 Years

By Gayla Wichman - In Dreiling/Schmidt Cancer Institute, HaysMed News - August 14, 2017

HAYS, KS (Aug 14, 2017) – The HaysMed Medical Oncology/Hematology Section of the Dreiling/Schmidt Cancer Institute has been recertified by the Quality Oncology Practice Initiative (QOPI®) Certification Program, an affiliate of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO).  The QOPI® Certification Program provides a three-year certification for outpatient hematology-oncology practices that meet the highest standards for quality care.  HaysMed’s recertification is for another three years through May of 2020.

“We’re extremely proud to receive QOPI recertification for ASCO”, said Dr. Robert Rodriguez, Medical Director of Medical Oncology/Hematology.  “It represents our sincere commitment to excellence for our patients.”

QOPI analyzes individual practice data and compare these to more than 160 evidence-based and consensus quality measures.  The information is then provided in reports to participating practices.  Individual practices are also able to compare their performance to data from other practices across the country.  Based on this feedback, doctors and practices can identify areas for improvement.

To become certified, practices have to submit to an evaluation of their entire practice and documentation standards.  The QOPI® Certification Program (QCP™)  staff and steering group members then verify through on-site inspection that the evaluation an documents are correct and that the practices meet core standards in areas of treatment, including:  treatment planning; staff training and education; chemotherapy orders and drug preparation; patient consent and education; and monitoring and assessment of patient well-being.

The QCP™ is a project of ASCO’s Institute for Quality, an ASCO affiliate dedicated to innovative quality improvement programs.  It was launched in January 2010, with more than 200 practices already certified.  This certification for outpatient oncology practices is the first program of its kind in the United States in which oncologists can achieve certification by meeting the highest standards of care.  The QCP seal designates those practices that no only scored high on the key QOPI quality measures, but meet rigorous chemotherapy safety standards established by ASCO and the Oncology Nursing Society (ONS).
