Cancer Program Practice Profile Reports (CP3R) 2018
The estimated performance rates shown below provide cancer programs with an indication of the percentage of patients treated according to the recognized standards of care.
Each year more measures are added for review. You will note that not all measures show that 100 percent of patients were treated according to the standard. There are many reasons for this. There may have been health considerations to resolve before a certain treatment could begin, an emergency surgery that did not allow for the full collection of lymph nodes, or a patient may have chosen to delay treatment until after a special event.
The Commission on Cancer does not expect that programs will achieve 100 percent compliance on all measures. It is, however, each program’s responsibility to review the cases that did not meet the standard and determine if there are ways to improve the likelihood that patients will receive the recommended care, or that the situations described above were avoidable.
