Background: The Institute of Medicine and Commission on Cancer recommend systematic delivery of supportive oncology care for cancer patients. The CSOC is focused on quality improvement (QI) of supportive care across Chicago cancer centers (Weldon ASCO ’17). Supportive oncology includes distress, practical, family, physical, nutrition, pain, fatigue and care concerns. To support QI, cross-institution teams developed unique, relevant tools, methods, care delivery processes, patient handouts and online training. Methods: Ten centers (5 academic, 1 VA, 1 public, 2 safety net, 1 community) implemented supportive oncology screening and care delivery quality improvements. Centers collected data for relevant Quality Oncology Practice Initiative (QOPI) metrics. Analyses used simple frequencies and Fishers exact test. Results: Five of six QOPI measures were improved at statistically significant levels from 2014 to 2017, p < .00001. Improvements are more modest in 2016 & 2017 as 4 of the centers started this QI in 2017. Conclusions: The CSOC achieved significant improvements in supportive oncology screening and identifying and addressing patients’ needs and concerns. Additional work is needed to improve these measures to achieve the best quality of cancer care possible for every patient based on their needs and concerns.
