What type of review process does the CoC use for accreditation?

The Commission on Cancer (CoC) uses a thorough evaluation process for accreditation, which includes an in-depth assessment of a cancer program’s adherence to established standards. This process ensures that cancer programs not only meet the minimum requirements but also provide high-quality care to patients.

The thorough evaluation involves multiple components, including an examination of data submission concerning cancer patient care, compliance with standards, performance improvement initiatives, and resource availability. This comprehensive review allows the CoC to effectively assess how well a cancer program is implementing the best practices in oncology care and serving its community.

Through this rigorous evaluation, the CoC can ensure that accredited organizations maintain a commitment to continuous improvement and excellence in cancer care, ultimately leading to better outcomes for patients.
