Quality attributes in health care setting include safety, effectiveness, patient centeredness, timeliness, efficiency, and equity. Quality of care outcomes depend not only on the clinical interactions between clinicians and patients but also on the effective alignment and integration of team efforts, logistics, and care processes. The National Cancer Grid (NCG), with its mandate to facilitate and promote quality standards in patient care across India, facilitated quality improvement (QI) training as a key initiative in order to develop competencies within the clinical teams in QI methodology and to strengthen the quality of cancer care processes across cancer centers in the country.
