Immuno-oncology
ASCP, working in collaboration with Q Synthesis, developed the Advanced I-O ChangeMakers program to provide an intensive education and quality improvement experience to a group of 18 individuals committed to improving the delivery of I-O in their own institutions. This peer-to-peer learning collaborative enabled them to develop their leadership skills and serve as effective change agents within their own institutions. As part of the program, each learner developed and implemented an “action learning project” to improve I-O care delivery.
To learn more about the QI projects undertaken by participants in the I-O ChangeMakers program and get inspired to undertake an action learning project in your institution, please download the project summary pdfs below.
