The Cancer System Quality Index Provides New Snapshots of Cancer Treatments

Abstract

Cancer patients often receive a combination of treatments, including surgery, radiation treatment, and systemic treatment such as chemotherapy. Cancer Care Ontario and the Cancer Quality Council of Ontario are making it easier to learn how Ontario's cancer delivery system is doing by providing at-a-glance views of Ontario's performance on the Cancer System Quality Index (CSQI).
For more information on Ontario's performance in delivering these treatments, view: https://www.cancercare.on.ca/english/csqi2008/treatment-focus/.

Also new to the Index are reports on radiation utilization. This indicator tracks the percentage of cancer patients receiving radiation treatment. County-level maps indicate that there is regional variation and room for improvement.
