Oncology Qualified Clinical Data Registry: A Patient-Centered, Symptom-Focused Framework to Guide Quality Improvement

Abstract

The Oncology Nursing Society is the steward of seven patient-centered, symptom-focused custom quality measures that have been codified into electronic format to facilitate extraction of data from the electronic health record. Because quality measurement is the cornerstone of the Quality Payment Program for providers in the pay-for-value framework, oncology nurses must be engaged in the quality measurement and improvement activities within their practice sites. .
