Virginia Cancer Specialists has received re-certification by the QOPI® Certification Program, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Association for Clinical Oncology (the Association) and an affiliate of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (the Society). The QOPI® Certification Program builds on the Society’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 achieve certification, Virginia Cancer Specialists participated in a voluntary comprehensive site assessment and successfully met clearly specified standards and objectives of the QOPI Certification Program. This achievement reflects the collective dedication of our entire team. From our front-line providers to every member of our support staff, each person plays a vital role in delivering the exceptional care our patients deserve. We are deeply grateful for their ongoing commitment, professionalism, and compassion.
The QOPI® Certification Program, LLC was launched in January 2010, and over 300 practices are currently certified. This certification for outpatient oncology practices is the first program of its kind for oncology in the United States and in 2016 was expanded internationally. Practices that are QOPI® Certified successfully met the standards and objectives of the QOPI® Certification Program, which includes scoring above the threshold on the key QOPI® quality measures and meeting chemotherapy safety standards established by the Society and the Oncology Nursing Society.
