Introduction: As part of a quality improvement (QI) project undertaken during the 2018 edition of the American Society of Clinical Oncology's Quality Training Program (QTP), we evaluated our practice's compliance to 70 measures regarding the Core, Symptom/Toxicity and Breast Cancer modules from the Quality Oncology Practice Initiative (QOPI) database. Thirteen measures were identified as being consistently low in documentation rate in our medical records (MR).
Methods: After establishing a multidisciplinary QI team, we defined to accomplish 100% documentation rate of these 13 QOPI measures in ≥ 80% of the monthly new patient MRs during the 6-month QTP.
