RESUMO
Physical activity can provide benefits for cancer survivors. A nurse-provided physical activity recommendation is strongly supported by evidence-based symptom interventions developed by the Oncology Nursing Society. This pilot project aimed to evaluate whether a focused quality improvement education (QIE) intervention could increase the frequency with which oncology nurses provide a physical activity recommendation to patients. Using The Expanded Learning Model for Systems to structure the project, the project team provided a multipronged educational approach with coaching through quality improvement activities to guide practice change. Oncology-focused clinical quality measures (CQMs) related to assessment for cancer-related fatigue and recommendation for physical activity provided the primary data used to evaluate the impact of the QIE intervention. CQM data demonstrated substantial increases in the frequency with which patients were assessed for fatigue and provided with a physical activity recommendation. This pilot project provides preliminary evidence that a QIE intervention supported by coaching can help facilitate evidence-based practice change. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2021;52(4):184-191.].

Changes are underway at the Oncology Nursing Society to align resources so that scientists have the support needed to generate new knowledge and clinicians have access to tools needed to use evidence-based interventions that can speed the translation of research to transform cancer care.

The Oncology Nursing Society is the steward of seven patient-centered, symptom-focused custom quality measures that have been codified into electronic format to facilitate extraction of data from the electronic health record. Because quality measurement is the cornerstone of the Quality Payment Program for providers in the pay-for-value framework, oncology nurses must be engaged in the quality measurement and improvement activities within their practice sites.â©.
