Members Memo: Metrics

Sharon S. Gentry, MSN, RN, HON-ONN-CG, AOCN, CBCN
We have shared with our AONN+ members how the Oncology Care Model (OCM) is being used to highlight value and cost efficiency. The OCM success is based on collection of data in regard to specific outcomes. This falls in line with the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Ensuring Quality Cancer Care report, that recommends quality care to be measured using a core set of metrics.
