Quality Oncology Practice Improvement (QOPI) in Brazil: A Successful Knowledge Transfer Under the Auspices of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)

Abstract

AbstractData suggest that the quality of care delivered to patients by a physician decreases over the years of clinical practice. In order to ensure quality care delivery, the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) has developed the Quality Oncology Practice Initiative (QOPI) and uses this program for international outreach activities. In this chapter, we describe the successful application of the quality management principles to our practice, Oncocentro, which is part of the Oncoclinicas Group.
