Interested in participating in a digital quality improvement program? Think quality improvement is only possible in large, well-resourced hospital systems? The education and practical tools in this activity are also part of a scalable and customizable digital improvement program that was designed for efficient use in clinical practices of all sizes. Complete an assessment to identify how your processes align with pre-identified performance measures and then use the system to dynamically identify goals and create an action plan for improvement. Return 30+ days later and complete a reassessment. It’s that simple.
Enhance NSCLC biomarker testing with practical QI that you can apply now!
Begin Here
Hear from our expert faculty on why QI is essential for improving care of patients with advanced/metastatic NSCLC
QI programs reinforce sustainable improvements beyond the educational activity itself. Overall, incorporating a QI component ensures the program leads to a lasting, measurable improvement in both clinical practice and patient outcomes. - Christine Bestvina, MD
The QI program is especially important in helping participants apply what they learn directly to their own institutions, identify gaps in care, implement measurable changes, and track improvements over time. - Melissa Tjota, MD, PhD
