The Commission on Cancer (CoC) Accreditation
The Commission on Cancer
(CoC) of the American College of Surgeons (ACoS) awarded a three
year accreditation with Commendation in 2007 for the cancer program
at Randolph Cancer Center. This highly prestigious accreditation
is awarded when an area program complies with all standards and
receives a commendation rating for one or more of the eligible
standards. The Randolph Cancer Center received its first accreditation
from the CoC and the ACoS in 2004.
Approval is given only to those facilities that have voluntarily committed to providing the best in diagnosis and treatment of cancer to a rigorous evaluation process and a review of its performance. There are currently more than 1,400 approved cancer programs in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, representing close to 25 percent of all hospitals. This 25 percent of hospitals diagnose and/or treat 80 percent of newly diagnosed cancer patients each year.
The Hematology & Oncology Practice
Excellence (HOPE) Award
In April 2009, Randolph Cancer Center received the Hematology & Oncology
Practice Excellence (HOPE) Award for Leadership Excellence by Hematology & Oncology
News & Issues Magazine. This award signifies Randolph Cancer
Center as a leader, both administratively and clinically, among
the cancer center practices of its size in the country.
The HOPE Awards recognize and advance excellence, and help practices gauge its success. In cooperation with corporate partners and sponsors, the awards are a part of a three year initiative designed to encourage the development of practice standards of excellence in community-based cancer treatment centers. The three main goals of the initiative are to identify measurable business standards, quantify a set of criteria within each standard that can be applied across practice and recognize the practices that exhibit excellence among its peers.
