PQI

POSITIVE QUALITY INTERVENTION (PQI)

An NCODA PQI is a precise and concise peer-reviewed clinical guidance resource. By providing Quality Standards and effective practices around a specific aspect of cancer care, PQIs equip the entire multidisciplinary care team with a sophisticated yet simple-to-use resource to manage patients receiving oral or IV oncolytics.

BENEFITS OF PQIs

The treatment and management of oncology patients on oral drug therapy continues to change and evolve. This complexity means healthcare professionals need a quick resource for information about drug therapy management. 

NCODA’s PQIs are that resource. 

They foster better care for patients through appropriate patient identification, treatment selection, increased speed to therapy, reduced cost and hospitalization, and improved adherence techniques for the patient and their medically-integrated teams.

Optimize Drug Therapy and Patient Outcomes

Positive Quality Interventions (PQIs), one of NCODA’s Quality Standards, are designed to standardize oncology practices and support positive clinical outcomes. We invite professionals from every sector of oncology to join the PQI Committee and contribute relevant topics to this growing body of knowledge. Together, we can better serve all patients living with cancer.
