Positive Quality Interventions Highlight Appropriate Drug Therapy

PQIs promote higher quality patient care through increased speed to therapy, reduced cost and hospitalization and by improving persistence and adherence.

The treatment and management of oncology patients on oral drug therapy is continually changing and evolving. Professionals at in-office dispensing practices are in a unique position to ensure proper treatment, increase compliance and maximize outcomes. Positive Quality Interventions (PQIs), an NCODA Quality Standard, are designed to operationalize and standardize those practices to achieve these positive clinical outcomes.
