American Society of Clinical Oncology’s Quality Oncology Practice Initiative

Recognized for:

  • Cancer Care?

Washington Cancer Institute at MedStar Washington Hospital Center is one of the first oncology programs in the nation to be recognized by the Quality Oncology Practice Initiative (QOPI®) Certification Program, an affiliate of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO). The QOPI Certification Program is a new initiative developed to certify oncology practices that meet rigorous standards for high-quality cancer care. It recognizes oncology practices that meet or exceed QOPI standards for more than 24 selected measures for cancer care, and additionally, show evidence of meeting 17 specific chemotherapy safety standards.

QOPI is a voluntary, self-assessment and improvement program launched by ASCO in 2006 to help hematology-oncology and medical oncology practices assess the quality of the care they provide to patients.
