Quality Initiatives
Quality Initiatives
The volunteer will work in quality improvement at a practice site and should have experience with quality measures and reporting. He or she should have an interest in developing resources and strategies for oncology nurses to implement evidence-based practice, helping them to measure change in the quality of care for patients with cancer and their caregivers.
Time Commitment
Varies depending on the quality-related project, which changes from year to year. A typical time commitment involves monthly one-hour conference calls for 6–8 months.
Travel
An in-person, two-day meeting at the ONS national office in Pittsburgh, PA, may be required.
Apply
Select this opportunity on the ONS volunteer application. Remember, you'll need an ONS profile to log in. If you don't have one yet, you can create one on the volunteer application homepage.
