Accreditations and certification
The Callahan Cancer Center is accredited as a Community Cancer Program from the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer (ACoS, CoC) under the Cancer Program Standards: Ensuring Patient-Centered Care. More than 70 % of all newly diagnosed cancer patients are treated in the more than 1,500 CoC-accredited cancer programs nationwide. This accreditation must be renewed with a comprehensive survey every three years. The Great Plains Health Callahan Cancer Center is proud of the work and effort put forth by all the team members of our cancer program to maintain this accreditation since 1995, showing our dedication to quality care for every patient. Our program was awarded its most recent reaccreditation from our Spring 2018 survey. The Callahan Cancer Center is also proud to have achieved QOPI (Quality Oncology Practice Initiative) Certification in 2015. The QOPI Certification Program, an affiliate of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), incorporates measures and standards based on clinical guidelines for quality oncology care, and have met chemotherapy safety standards established by ASCO and the Oncology Nursing Society. Only practices that meet or exceed a defined level of performance may achieve QOPI Certified status. To achieve certification, a practice undergoes a thorough assessment of policies and processes, as well as an on-site survey. Our program’s most recent on-site assessment for recertification was in the fall of 2017. The Joint Commission has also granted Great Plains Health a three-year accreditation after a successful survey for all services covered under the Comprehensive Accreditation Manual for Hospitals. An independent, not-for-profit organization, The Joint Commission accredits and certifies more than 20,500 healthcare organizations and programs in the United States. The Joint Commission accreditation and certification is recognized nationwide as a symbol of quality that reflects an organization’s commitment to meeting certain performance standards.
