Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC)

To assess possible areas of improvement, you will complete an assessment that asks to what extent you or your practice:

• ensures that somatic and germline testing have previously been performed (or re-evaluated, if needed)
• improves clinical trial access for racially and ethnically diverse patients
• ensures that patients with mCRPC receive personalized treatment
• develops processes to ensure equitable access to advanced imaging techniques
• establishes processes to ensure that patients with mCRPC receive all components of supportive care
• ensures that the multidisciplinary team is familiar with racial disparities in treatment access
• addresses social determinants of health that influence patient access to treatment

You will receive a report card that summarizes your or your practice’s performance relative to areas assessed. This serves as your baseline and guides development of your personalized action items.

Working with our expert faculty, we followed a Model for Improvement that outlines the aims of this program and its measures of success. We provide educational and practical interventions, but you can develop your own to meet your specific needs. Depending on your baseline assessment, interventions you can implement include:

• Enhanced training
• Communication strategies
• Personalized action items to track based on the nuanced needs of your practice
• Team-based approaches to address disparities
• Patient education

Once you’ve finished the interventions and have introduced the recommended process changes, it’s time to put them to the test!

• Return to this digital QI portal after a minimum of 30 days
• Re-assess your action plan to see what improvements were realized
• Complete a personal reflection
• Get your certificate

We recommend you share these findings with key stakeholders in your organization to reflect on ongoing improvements and/or future opportunities.
