QOPI
QOPI is an initiative of the American Society of Clinical Oncology ASCO, the world’s leading academic and professional organization concerned with cancer treatment. This initiative recognizes oncology practices that committed to delivering the highest quality of cancer care to their patients.
QOPI certification is achieved through a two year process of audit and assessment of the practice, clinical performance, safety record and quality of patient service. This process is conducted on site by a select team of Oncology professionals who inspect practice operations, records and staff qualification and training using US benchmark standards. Certification means that the practice meets or exceeds these standards
Contemporary Oncology Team applied for certification in 2014, and was subject every six months to audits of organization, workflow and patient charts. This was followed by visit of the certification team headed by an experienced oncologist and program auditor/administrator. The certification was granted in May 2016 and was the first outside the USA.
Led by Dr. Evangelia Razi the certification was a collective effort involving all members of Contemporary Oncology Team. Patient care improvement is a continuous function that is undertaken by a permanent QOPI team consisting medical oncologist Dr. Rigakos, Oncology Nurse Vlachou and Administrator Theodorakopoulou.
