The Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons has launched a web-based tool to promote evidence-based cancer care, according to an ACS news release.
The Rapid Quality Reporting System is a voluntary online data collection and reporting system enabled through the National Cancer Data Base. RQRS will assess the adherence of CoC-accredited cancer programs to specific cancer care recommendations, or quality measures, for patients with breast, colon or rectal cancer. CoC plans to expand the program to other cancers in the future.
Through the system, cancer clinicians can receive real-time feedback on their submitted data and adjust their care accordingly.
