Résumé fourni par la source

This document serves as a perspective on quality assessments in the discipline of cardio-oncology. We aim to define the current landscape, identify needs for quality and outcome improvements, and propose a roadmap for establishing viable metrics to improve patient care. Specifically, this document: 1) addresses the current lack of measurable high-quality metrics in cardio-oncology and their implications; 2) highlights needs and topic-specific barriers; 3) illustrates the process and application of a measurable quality metric; and 4) provides a framework to demonstrate measurable value for the growing population of patients with cancer and cardiovascular diseases. • The discipline of cardio-oncology has entered into a new era focused on the quantitative as well as the qualitative. • Developing and applying quality metrics in cardio-oncology are essential steps toward improving patient outcomes. • This document serves as a first step in advancing quality metrics in the field.
