ASCO®
CERTIFIED
Patient-Centered Cancer Care Standards®
ASCO Certified® Patient-Centered Cancer Care Standards is an international certification awarded by the Association for Clinical Oncology, which evaluates compliance with specialized standards for the care of people with cancer.
These standards consider both the quality and safety of treatments and the patient's participation in decisions about their care, medical coordination, and continuous improvement.
Facing a cancer diagnosis means making important decisions. Having clear information, coordinated professionals, and safe care processes can provide greater confidence along this journey. This certification supports five fundamental aspects of care:
Clinical decisions supported by scientific knowledge and international standards.
Professionals working together to promote organized, continuous care.
Processes aimed at strengthening safety during cancer treatment.
Care that takes into account the needs, concerns, and goals of each patient.
Ongoing evaluation of processes to strengthen the quality of care.
Unlike general healthcare certifications, ASCO Certified® focuses specifically on the care of people with cancer.
Its standards evaluate the clinical, operational, and human aspects of the cancer care process, from treatment safety to the patient's experience and participation.
Through its Cancer and Hematology Center, Metropolitan Hospital is the only hospital in Latin America to hold the international ASCO Certified® Patient-Centered Cancer Care Standards certification.
