Release of 2021 Annual Cancer Quality Improvement Program (CQIP) Report

The National Cancer Database (NCDB) has released the 2021 annual Cancer Quality Improvement Program (CQIP) report. CQIP is a data-driven, process, and outcomes-based cancer quality improvement initiative.

This annual report is unique in providing not only short-term quality and outcome data but also long-term outcome data including five-year survival rates for commonly treated malignancies stratified by stage. CQIP allows programs to assess their quality and outcomes based on the data submitted to the NCDB. CQIP provides CoC-accredited facilities with data on:

• Compliance with CoC quality measures
• Volume data for complex surgical oncology operations with 30-day and 90-day mortality
• Unadjusted and risk-adjusted survival data for selected cancer sites
• Other clinical data and administrative data

CoC-accredited programs are now able to access this report through QPort. A complete CQIP slide directory is in the “About CQIP” tab of the CQIP reporting application.
