Background: The Institute of Medicine (IOM) 2013 report recommends supportive oncology care from diagnosis through survivorship, to end of life. The Coleman Supportive Oncology Collaborative (CSOC) developed a city-wide plan to improve supportive oncology. Metrics derived from the Commission on Cancer (CoC), ASCO Quality Oncology Practice Initiative (ASCO-QOPI) and National Quality Forum (NQF) were used to assess the CSOC impact. Methods: Medical records of consecutive cancer patients from 6 practice improvement cancer centers in Chicago (3 academic, 2 safety-net, 1 public) were reviewed for 2 periods: 2014 (n = 843) and Q1 of 2015 (n = 313). Descriptive statistics assessed differences in quality metrics. Results: Significant improvement was achieved in 6 of 8 core supportive oncology metrics (see table). Conclusions: Consolidated metrics are feasible to assess supportive oncology quality. Early data indicate improvement and effectiveness of the collaborative approach.

Metric (Reference)% Patients dx in 2014% Patients dx in Q1 2015P value
*Documented discussion on understanding of illness, treatment expectation, or quality of life within 30 days (d) of diagnosis (dx) (QOPI 2 NQF 0386)54 (453/843)67 (210/313)< 0.0001
Patients provided prognosis timeframe (ds to weeks, weeks to months, months to years, years+) within 30 d of dx (QOPI 2 NQF 0386)24 (205/843)23 (71/313)Not significant
*Documented health care agent / validated POA within 90 d of dx (QOPI 25a)5 (42/843)18 (58/313)< 0.0001
*Stage IV patients with documented advance directive / POLST discussion within 90 d of dx (QOPI 25a)1 (10/452)10 (10/103)< 0.0001
Stage I, II, III patients with supportive oncology needs screening within 30 d of dx (QOPI 24, CoC 3.2)38 (148/391)34 (72/210)Not significant
Stage IV patients with supportive oncology needs screening within 14 d of dx (QOPI 24, CoC 3.2)6 (27/452)10 (10/103)< 0.0001
**Stage IV patients with documented palliative care referral (QOPI 43 NQF 0215)15 (68/452)30 (31/103)= 0.0006
*Stage I, II, III patients who received treatment summary and Survivor Care Plan within 180 d of treatment (QOPI 18, 20, CoC 3.3)2 (9/391)19 (33/172)< 0.0001
