Nebraska Cancer Specialists Recertified by Largest Oncology Society in U.S.

Nebraska Cancer Specialists (NCS) (nebraskacancer.com) has received reaccreditation by the QOPI Certification Program (QCP™), an affiliate of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO). QCP builds on ASCO’s Quality Oncology Practice Initiative (QOPI®), providing a three-year certification for outpatient hematology-oncology practices that meet nationally recognized standards for quality cancer care.

To become certified, practices must submit to an evaluation of their entire practice and documentation standards. NCS first achieved certification in October 2013. In applying for recertification, NCS participated in a voluntary comprehensive site assessment against clearly specified standards that are consistent with national guidelines and was successful in meeting the standards and objectives of QCP. The QCP seal designates practices that not only scored above the threshold on the key QOPI quality measures, but met chemotherapy safety standards established by ASCO and the Oncology Nursing Society (ONS).

QOPI and the QCP are projects dedicated to innovative quality improvement programs. For more information, please visit www.instituteforquality.org/qopi-qcp.

Nebraska Cancer Specialists is a subspecialty practice of 13 collaborating physicians who are devoted to oncology and hematology, providing state of the art medical treatment and compassionate care in both outpatient offices and hospital settings.
